Ethin Bingaman hit two solo home runs including a 413-foot bomb in the seventh inning to lead No. 5 Auburn to a 10-6 win over Louisville Sunday afternoon at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas.<\/p>\n
Bingaman, a freshman, finished 2 of 4 with three runs scored and two RBI. The home runs both came off fastballs and were the first of his career.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt felt great,\u201d Bingaman told the Auburn Network. \u201cIt\u2019s great bouncing back from the game that we had. Winning three straight shows that we can do a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Tigers improve to 6-1 and finish the Amegy Bank College Baseball Series 3-0 with wins over Kansas State Friday and No. 9 Florida State Saturday.<\/p>\n
Freshmen accounted for Auburn\u2019s first three runs. Caiden Combs had an an RBI-single in the second inning, Brandon McCraine stole home after Bub Terrell got caught in a rundown between first and second base in the third, and Bingaman led off the fourth with a solo home run.<\/p>\n
Chase Fralick added a solo home run in the fifth before the Tigers exploded for five runs in the seventh on a bases-loaded walk by McCraine, two-RBI single by Terrell, another steal of home by McCraine as Terrell got caught in a rundown, and Bingaman\u2019s second home run of the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI felt like we had a chance to score about every inning,\u201d AU coach Butch Thompson told the Auburn Network. \u201cThat\u2019s what we want to feel like, even if we don\u2019t. We really just had one run, one run and had the one big one today. The five-spot was huge.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fralick, who was 2 of 4 with two runs scored and two RBI, added a two-out, RBI-single in the eighth. Terrell was 3 of 5 with two RBI, Carter 2 of 5 with two runs scored and McCraine 2 of 4 with two runs scored and one RBI.<\/p>\n
AU starter Alex Petrovic (2-0) earned the win allowing three runs on six hits in 5.0 innings. He struck out five and didn\u2019t issue a walk.<\/p>\n
Christian Chatterton threw 2.0 shutout inning without allowing a hit and LJ Cormier allowed three runs on one hit, two walks and two hit batters with six strikeouts in 1.2 innings. Garrett Brewer retired the final batter of the game with AU\u2019s 13th strikeout.<\/p>\n
\u201cPetrovic was good. It felt like they started dialing in on him a little bit,\u201d said Thompson. \u201cBut I feel comfortable when Petrovic is on the mound. He\u2019s in control of everything he does and I like that a lot.<\/p>\n
\u201cChatterton gave us a little work after working multiple innings Tuesday \u2026 You have to finish strong so that\u2019s a hard taste to get out of my mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
