Going for the sweep at Bogle Park, it’s 7-0 in the bottom of the second. Ten Hogs have batted so far, seven have scored. Five runs in the first were unearned after the right fielder misplayed a fly ball, but the Hogs have hit two dingers to straightaway center. Auburn’s already changed pitchers.
Hogs are in first place in the SEC, by the way. Again… Win today would make them 9-3 in the league,
17-4 run-rule final after 4.5. Hogs scored 5, 4, 4 and 4 in their four at-bats; Ellsworth had two homers and drove in 6 runs. KB Sides had a dinger and drove in 5. Nice afternoon’s work for the two transfers.
Meanwhile, second place Alabama is in extra innings at Florida. Two replay calls have both gone against Alabama baserunners, including a tag-out at the plate; nice to see that Birmingham can occasionally make a call against the Ocean Scum. A Wallet win would give the Hogs a 1 game lead in the SEC with that series in Gainesville ending Monday night. Hogs have played one less series so far
