Auburn burnt by Scrappers under the sun

AUBURN - Maybe the Doubledays should stick to playing under the lights.

In its first day game this season, Auburn came out looking flat against Mahoning Valley. After defeating the Scrappers on Sunday night, the Doubledays could not carry over the momentum. Auburn lefty Dan O'Brien committed one error and allowed two walks, three hits and four earned runs in the third inning as the Scrappers easily defeated the Doubledays 6-1 at Falcon Park Monday.

In all fairness, O'Brien's overthrow to first base in the inning didn't cost Auburn much at all. Evandy DeLeon reached first base due to the error, but catcher Brian Jeroloman threw him out at second soon after on an attempted steal. But with two outs, O'Brien walked the next two batters, while consecutive Jared Goedert and Matthew McBride singles drove in two runs. When Kelly Edmundson crushed a long two-run double to right center field, Ben Harrison took over as pitcher.
