Auburn 2-16 in SEC play. Waters down that true road win quite a bit I’d assume.

According to this article, S. Quigley will start on Saturday, and Coe will start on Sunday. I suspect this is due to Coe getting a midweek start this past week.

A quick look at some HR and BA stats from year ago and thru this season, it appears the HR production concern coming into this season will be irrelevant. 57 I believe already and 72 last season. BA is an issue…about 35 points lower

Top 2nd, S. Quigley has a 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts. 2-0 UConn.
