Behind a two-hit performance in the circle from Maddie Penta and KK Dismukes, Auburn softball (22-12) shut out Alabama State (9-23) for a 5-0 victory Tuesday night in the final nonconference contest at Jane B. Moore Field this season.
After adjusting their timing at the plate, the Tiger batters knocked seven hits including two for extra bases to put up five runs. Maia Engelkes came up big for Auburn yet again in a pinch-hit appearance, slugging an RBI double to put the Tigers on the board. Lindsey Garcia slugged her third home run of the season and her second in the last two games.
Kelsey Schmidt and Abby Tissier both put up multi-hit efforts at the plate with a pair of singles each. The duo combined for four of Auburn’s seven hits.
"Our pitchers only walked two and we had some timely hits, which was good,” said head coach Mickey Dean. “We struggled early on to adjust to the speed difference, but we adjusted and ended up putting a run on the board in every inning from the third inning on except one."
