Fantastic four powers Auburn

AUBURN - To take one of the best hitters out of the lineup is never an easy choice for a manager to make. Fortunately for the Auburn Doubledays, they have a plethora of sluggers to choose from.

For only the second time on the current six-game homestand, the Doubledays were without Adam Amar - one of the hottest hitters on the team. Amar earned a night's rest after belting out six hits in the last three games, but in what is surely a coincidence, some slight shuffling in the lineup aided the Doubledays in a breakout offensive performance at Falcon Park.

Auburn racked up 15 hits in the 11-3 rubber match win over State College on Saturday, but 14 of those connections came from the first four batters in the lineup. For the second straight night, the Doubledays spotted the Spikes a run early and managed to pound out the runs after that.
