The Auburn Tigers clinched the second College World Series in the three years under seven-year coach Butch Thompson with a 2-1 series win in the Corvallis Super Regional. They take on Ole Miss at 6 p.m.
Auburn took the chip on its shoulder from the perceived slight into an opportunity for a national championship. Of course, it’s important to remember that Ole Miss, Arkansas, and Texas A&M join the Tigers from the SEC West to make up half of the eight teams in the MCWS.
DiChiara has 22 home runs, including four in the playoffs. His homer on Monday put the Tigers ahead 2-0 in the eventual 4-3 win to clinch the series. His batting average , on-base percentage , and slugging percentage are the best in the Southeastern Conference. He’s drawn 68 walks, which leads the nation, and has reached base in 60 of the 62 games he’s played this season.
Auburn scored two runs in the frame and went up 4-1 against Oregon State. Without those runs, the Tigers aren’t in Omaha seeking a title.Auburn’s bullpen covered 8 2/3 innings during Saturday’s 7-5 win against Oregon State. But, the most important performance was in defeat. Chase Isbell kept the Tigers within striking distance on Sunday with 2 2/3 scoreless innings. Isbell kept the Tigers from having to use closer Blake Burkhalter.
Auburn is hitting .303 in six tournament games after going .209 and scoring 11 runs in the four games before the playoffs. The Tigers scored 51 runs in three games in the Auburn Regional with wins against Southeastern Louisana, Florida State, and the Bruins. Auburn has 65 runs on 67 hits in their last six games. The Tigers scored four runs on three hits in Monday’s win against the Beavers. It hasn’t mattered if the Tigers crush balls over the fence or have to achieve with baserunning.
