Auburn Baseball Ends 4-Game Losing Streak

Scott Shuman of Auburn lasted 6 innings in his first career start in Tuesday's 10-2 win over Davidson. The Tigers improved to 5-4 on the year.

"It was good to come out and get a convincing win," Shuman said.
Luke Greinke (pictured at left) hit his 2nd home run of the season and Kevin Patterson hit his 3rd of the season to set the early pace for the team. Mike Bianucci extended his hitting streak to 15 games with a double in the 4th inning. Cory Luckie pitched the final 3 innings to earn his first career save.
In other news, Paul Burnside and Greinke have been placed on the (still named as of today's posting) 2008 Roger Clemens Award Watch List along with 76 other collegiate players. No word yet on if a third ear will grow out of the forehead of whichever player actually wins or if the recipient gets an all-expenses paid trip to Jose Canseco's next steroid party. Hopefully, if an Auburn man wins they'll respectfully decline the invitation.
