AUBURN, ALABAMA (EETV) — Auburn Baseball hosts Yale Friday in the first home series of the season for the Tigers. Auburn goes into this game on a three-game win streak after beating Troy on Wednesday.
Auburn defeated Troy in that game 13-1. Junior Bryson Ware excelled in this win as he hit his first career grand slam and played a total of six runs. Samford transfer, Sonny DiChiara, hit his first career home run and Auburn uniform in the win. DiChiara now has 42 career homers and ranks fourth among active players in that category.
The Tigers have heated up at the plate in the last two games. Auburn hit six and scored two runs in the first two competitions of the season. In the last two games, Auburn has scored 26 hits and mustered 25 runs.
