Auburn defeated Jacksonville State this afternoon 14-2
and they will go to their second Super Regional in school history.
Congratulations to Tiffany Howard for hitting a grand slam home run which was
her second career home run in 8 days. If the USA had an Olympic Softball team
this summer, I would not hesitate to add Emily Carosone and Kasey Cooper.
The Auburn pitching staff performed well in the 3 games
this weekend. They only allowed 3 earned runs and Rachel Walters struck out a
career high 10 batters when she came in for relief work in the 2-1 win over
Jacksonville State on Friday.
Auburn will now
face Arizona who defeated Tennessee this afternoon. It will be the best of a 3
game series. I did not hear too many people pick Arizona to beat Tennessee so this
could just be a matter of fate since Mike Candrea, the coach of Arizona,
coached against Clint Myers when he was at Arizona State.
I'd mention that Mike Candrea does have a gold medal from
coaching the Team USA Girls Softball team in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games.
WAR EAGLE!
