Auburn conquers Troy behind late Ike Irish single
Auburn baseball returns to Plainsman Park Wednesday to battle in-state foe North Alabama just one day after winning a thriller over Troy.
Auburn won its first midweek contest of the season on Tuesday, taking down Troy, 7-6. The first two innings provided fireworks for those who enjoy great offense. Deric Fabian hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the 1st inning as part of a four-run set. The Trojans answered in the top of the 2nd inning by scoring five runs to jump ahead. Former Tiger Mike Bello scored two runs in the 2nd and 3rd innings of the game, both on RBI singles.
Auburn chipped away at the Trojan lead and ultimately tied Troy in the 6th inning, 6-6. Ike Irish delivered the game-winning hit in the bottom of the 9th inning to score Bub Terrell and give the Tigers the walk-off victory.
Fabian collected three hits and three RBI in the win, while Irish and Terrell each tallied two hits and an RBI. Freshman Jackson Sanders struck out two batters in his Auburn debut, where he allowed one earned run on two hits. Cam Tilly anchored the bullpen by striking out seven batters and allowing zero hits in three innings of work. Jett Johnston earned the win by striking out four batters over the final two innings.
