Five key stats in Auburn's win over Central Connecticut State
Five key stats in Auburn's win over Central Connecticut State Five key stats were key to the Tigers 9-5 win on Friday night. The Auburn Tigers defeated the Central Connecticut State Blue Devils 9-5 on Friday night to start the NCAA Baseball Tournament. It was a packed house at Plainsman Park that saw the Tigers take the victory. The game was not easy, though. Auburn got off to a 4-0 start, but starting pitcher Cam Tilly had struggles early before being relieved. Tilly allowed two runs before being relieved by Carson Myers in the second inning. The four runs scored by the Tigers proved to be the difference. Auburn will now play Stetson on Saturday at 8 p.m. CT. Here are five key statistics that were key to the Auburn victory on Friday night. Cam Tilly Struggles Even though Tilly did not give up any runs in the first inning, it was a struggle for the starting pitcher. The Blue Devils were able to load the bases before Auburn escaped without giving up any runs. He gave up two runs in the second before giving way to Myers. The Blue Devils started the second inning when outfielder Gianno Merlonghi singled to right field. Tilly would then walk Antonio Ducatelli and Kyle Gordon to make the bases loaded. Catcher Matt Falk would then single to drive in Ducatelli and Merlonghi to make the score 4-2 in favor of Auburn. Tilly would then give way to Myers to end his evening on the mound. In less than two innings, Tilly gave up five hits and walked two batters. Four-run First Inning The Auburn bats were needed in the game with Tilly struggling early. They gave the pitchers an early 4-0 lead to help. The Tigers loaded the bases to set everything into motion. Eric Guevara and Cooper McMurray walked, and in between Ike Irish hit a double. Singles by Lucas Steele, Eric Snow, and Bub Terrell resulted in runs scored and a 4-0 lead. Carson Myers Settles In Myers pitched six innings after coming in relief for Tilly. He faced 27 batters and struck out nine in the game. He did allow six hits but only gave up one run. "I thought when Carson got in the ball game, he just got better and better each inning. And I thought he was a huge difference in the ball game tonight, to steady us, let us reset, settle into the tempo of the game," said Butch Thompson after the game. Parker Carlson would enter the game in the eighth inning to close the game. Lucas Steele Home Run The game was tied at four as the Tigers were up to bat in the third inning. Steele would hit a home run to give Auburn a lead they would never give up. "Yeah, I mean, I think I was leading off the inning, and at that point it was just to get base runners on," said Steele following the game. "The intention was to never hit a home run, but, you know, I got that pitch, and I guess it was a big momentum change to be able to take that lead and keep that lead throughout the game." Auburn would then add three more runs by Eric Snow, Chase Fralick, and Bub Terrell to end the inning up 8-4. Bub Terrell's Big Game Bub Terrell had a big game for the Tigers on Friday night. Terrell had two hits and three RBIs to help led Auburn to a win. He also scored a run and reached base by a walk. His final run batted in was when he flied out in the fourth that resulted in Snow scoring a run.

Throughout the season he has pitched a total of 45 innings and has struck out 58 batters. Tilly has lost his previous two starts in games versus Ole Miss and Texas A&M.

Tilly Brouwer retires after 21 years at St Francis
After over two decades at the helm of the St Francis Care Centre, Tilly Brouwer (76) is retiring on May 30. A pillar of strength during some of the darkest days of the HIV/Aids epidemic, the Cinderella resident leaves behind a legacy of compassion, courage and unwavering commitment to the most vulnerable in society. When Tilly joined the centre in July 2004, South Africa was facing the full brunt of the HIV pandemic. 'Back then, there was no medication available. People came to us to 30 to 40 deaths per month in the adult unit, the centre became a place where families found dignity in death and solace in sorrow.' Just months into her tenure, everything changed when St Francis became a beneficiary of PEPFAR (President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief). 'That was a turning point. We could screen, test, counsel, and start people on antiretroviral treatment. The change in patients was incredible.' Tilly recalls the centre's first day of offering antiretroviral treatment, September 1, 2004, as a cold, rainy day. 'An aunt brought her niece, who was on death's doorstep, to us. She had accepted she was going to die, but we started her on treatment and almost 21 years later, she was alive and thriving. 'We come from a time when HIV was a death sentence to where it is now seen as a chronic condition – manageable and treatable.' Under Tilly's guidance, St Francis evolved from an HIV-focused facility into a fully fledged palliative care centre, serving patients with any life-threatening or life-limiting illnesses. 'We expanded to palliative care in its true form – focused on pain relief, comfort, and dignity at the end of life.' The centre's children's ward, Rainbow Cottage, has also been close to Tilly's heart. They serve children from birth to six years, many abandoned, orphaned or abused. Father Stan Working alongside the late Father Stan Brennan, founder of the centre, was a highlight of Tilly's career. 'He was a man of vision. If he saw a need, he addressed it. Father Stan had a wonderful sense of humour and he taught me sometimes it is better to ask for forgiveness than permission.' Tilly recalls one example of this approach when she sent a nurse to Rio de Janeiro to escort a South African woman home after she had been imprisoned for drug trafficking. 'She was HIV positive, desperately ill and had nobody else. We brought her back, reconciled her with her children and she was baptised before passing away peacefully. That is what St Francis is about.' Another of Tilly's proudest achievements has been securing funding for the centre, often from international donors and the national lottery. 'We had to work hard to keep the lights on. But we never turned a patient away because they could not pay. That was a promise I made to Father Stan.' Despite the weight of leadership, Tilly always believed in empowering her team and maintaining stability. On entering retirement, Tilly said the transition is daunting but exciting. She plans to split her time between South Africa and Australia, where two of her children and three of her 10 grandchildren live. 'I will travel, but will always keep an eye on St Francis. Father Stan's legacy must be honoured.' Her advice to her successor: 'Stay focused on the mission. Advocate fiercely, especially for the children. They cannot speak for themselves. When I look into their eyes, I always hear: 'What are you doing about my future?''

Auburn baseball gives nod to Cam Tilly for SEC Tournament opener
Auburn baseball gives nod to Cam Tilly for SEC Tournament opener Cam Tilly has turned in two-straight five-inning starts, and will be trusted with the ball for Auburn's SEC Tournament opener on Thursday. Auburn pitcher Cam Tilly has made starts in four-straight SEC series, and has earned the right to get the ball for the Tigers' SEC Tournament opener on Thursday. Head coach Butch Thompson revealed Tuesday during his pre-SEC Tournament press conference that Auburn sophomore right-hander Cam Tilly will start the Tigers' opening game on Thursday morning against No. 14 Texas A&M at 11 a.m. CT at the Hoover Met. If all goes according to plan, Thompson says that Tilly could eat a few innings and pave the way for Andreas Alvarez and Cade Fisher to close the game, which could put Auburn back on its usual weekend rotation for the weekend. "I think that could really help us for (Thursday). That's two fresh arms when you mention Alvarez and Fisher. They could maybe both get in the ballgame tomorrow. I'm not sure how it will play out and who we'll play, and how the lineups are constructed. We're going to Tilly on one day's rest. Then you've got two fresh guys that have started games for us this year, ready to go. Then you could be right on your regular rotation as long as you stay and compete and win with (Samuel) Dutton and (Christian) Chatterton for the next two games." Tilly's four starts this season have come in the final four SEC weekends. He has turned in five innings in each of his last two games, where he has combined to strike out 11 batters and allowed five earned runs while posting a 1-1 record. Tilly is 3-2 overall with a 4.71 ERA, 52 strikeouts, 25 walks, and a 58% strike percentage in 42 innings of work. Auburn baseball opens the SEC Tournament on Thursday at 11 a.m. against Texas A&M. The game will be broadcast live on SEC Network from the Hoover Met.

Gordon Ramsay admits major gaffe as daughter Tilly announces huge life decision
Gordon Ramsay has said he is now the 'proudest dad' after his daughter Tilly announced she is following in his culinary footsteps by training to be a chef Gordon Ramsay has expressed his concerns about possibly making a significant blunder after his daughter Tilly decided to follow in his footsteps. The renowned chef, who boasts eight Michelin stars, revealed that 23 year old Tilly has embarked on her journey to become a chef by enrolling in culinary school, a decision she made independently. Despite his vast experience and success in the industry, Gordon admitted to Closer UK that he was troubled by the thought that he might have erred by not offering his expertise to his daughter. He said: "My family is like an army now – but, thankfully, Tilly is the fist one who's interested in cooking. She paid for herself – worked, saved the money, and has gone off to culinary school." Reflecting on the moment he saw her off, he shared: "I said goodbye and put heron the ferry and I thought: 'F***, why didn't she ask me to teach her? Is that my first major f*** up?' I can't wait to ask that question – but it just goes to show how unspoilt my kids are." Gordon takes pride in the independence of his children, stating: "They're individually following their own path and aren't dependent on their parents. I think that's a good call," reports Cornwall Live. The celebrity chef, who owns a stunning £4.4million home in Rock, Cornwall, is a father to six children: Megan, 26, twins Jack and Holly, 25, Tilly, 23, Oscar, six, and one year old Jesse. Speaking of his other offspring, he mentioned Jack's successful entry into the Royal Marine Commandos. Reflecting on his own childhood, Gordon, who was born in the town of Johnstone, described himself as: "I was energetic, boisterous, and competitive – but not really a handful. I was grateful." Amid rumours of expanding his brood, Gordon Ramsay has faced personal trials in the past. His wife Tana Ramsay, 50, endured the heartbreak of a miscarriage during her pregnancy with a boy they planned to name Rocky. Tana opened up about the experience on Loose Women, noting the invaluable support from her husband: "It's such a personal decision when you have a baby and this was 20 years ago." She shared insights into their family life: "The way that I felt, the way Gordon felt, it was something we decided on together. He wasn't with me when I gave birth to Meg or the twins or Tilly. "But now we're older and it's quite interesting because I lost a baby in 2016 and Gordon was with me throughout that entire process and there's no way I could have done it without him right there by my side." Besides his celebrated restaurant empire, Gordon Ramsay also runs a YouTube channel, dishing out culinary wisdom. One of his cooking barometers is simple but telling: "If they can make the perfect scrambled egg, you know they know how to cook properly."
