Auburn wins MAX Capital City Classic, 8-7

Hey everyone. Welcome to Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery, Ala., where Auburn and Alabama are engaged in a baseball game.

This is a large crowd. I'd say it's in the 7,000 range.

CURRENT SCORE:
Auburn 8
Alabama 7
FINAL

• AUBURN FIRST: Brian Fletcher knocks a double off the wall in deep center, taking full advantage of a bases-loaded situation.
  
  
• Alabama first: Not much going on.
  
  
• AUBURN SECOND: Trent Mummey hits a solo ding-dong.
  
  
• Alabama second: Not much going on.
  
  
• AUBURN THIRD: Not much going on.
  
  
• Alabama third: Kent Matthes hits a three-run dong to centerfield. It was a 2-2 fastball, chest-high. Probably not the best pitch ever ... from a pitcher's perspective.
  
  
• AUBURN FOURTH: Auburn scores one on a pass ball. Another run scored on a sac by Justin Hargett.
  
  
• Alabama fourth: Not much going on.

• AUBURN SIXTH: Not much going on.
  
  
• Alabama sixth: Not much going on.
  
  
• AUBURN SEVENTH: Not much going on.

• Alabama eighth: Vin DiFazio just doubled off the wall in center, drove home a run. Taylor Dugas just doubled in another run. Jake Smith then hits a two-run dong. That's four for the Tide.
  
  
• AUBURN NINTH: Casey McElroy leads off with a triple ... and promptly is lifted for a pinch runner. He's the only shortstop on the roster. Justin Hargett drives home the run with a sac fly. Ben Jones drove in the go-ahead run with a double into left field. Auburn scored twice.
  
  
• Alabama ninth: Not much going on.
