With each of their last two games decided by just one run, the Doubledays shouldn’t have expected anything but a down to the wire matchup on Monday against the Black Bears. It took an all-around effort to secure Auburn’s (14-9) 6-5 win against West Virginia (10-14), with the Doubledays’ biggest contributor being one of the most unlikely. Auburn starter Aaron... more

A mostly lifeless performance on offense guarantees that the Auburn Doubledays will lose their second straight home series. The Doubledays had no answer for Lowell starter Eduard Bazardo, leading to a 6-1 loss to the Spinners Thursday at Falcon Park. Overall, Auburn was held to four hits. Facing Bazardo for the first six innings, Auburn went down in order four... more

The Doubledays offense got out in front early on a beautiful and sunny Sunday afternoon in Aberdeen. After struggling with drawing first blood for the past few series, Auburn’s early offensive bursts during the game’s first two innings were enough for the Doubledays pitching staff to take over. Auburn held on to a 3-2 win over the IronBirds behind Aaron... more

The Doubledays’ offense finally erupted during their Game 3 matchup against the IronBirds after fighting tooth-and-nail for runs this past series. Timely hitting, solid pitching, and help from a pair of Aberdeen errors helped secure Auburn it’s 8-2 rubber game win over the Iron Birds. There was no shortage of big hits for Auburn throughout the afternoon. After two walks... more

The Doubledays’ offense folded under pressure in a series that could ultimately determine first place in the Pinckney Division. Auburn only managed to tally three runs on 10 hits – with three errors made by their opposition – in a 5-3 loss to the Mahoning Valley Scrappers. The Doubledays struck early and put up a two-spot in the first inning... more

The Doubledays couldn’t ask for a better start against the Scrappers with a 4-run inning – highlighted by a Jamori Blash three-run home run – gave Auburn a commanding lead to start off the contest and hinted at big things to come in the game from the Doubledays bats. But Auburn quickly learned: It’s not how you start. It’s how... more

Doubledays starter Tim Cate – after three solid innings of work to start the game – began to struggle in his fourth inning of work against the Mahoning Valley Scrappers. He was entering uncharted territory as his longest outing to that point had been 3.1 innings, and, pitching in Auburn for the first time in his four starts, it appeared... more

In an extra-inning affair that didn’t see a run scored until the 10th inning, the State College Spikes – specifically their pitching staff- reigned supreme. Auburn’s arm outdueled the Spikes all night long, but after nine strong frames and their first two runs scored in the top of the inning, the Doubledays bullpen failed to hold off a three-run 10th... more

The Doubledays were forced into extra innings for the second time in as many days Tuesday night against the ValleyCats. And just like a case of deja vu, Auburn walked the bases loaded in the bottom of the 10th to open up the possibility of a double play. But while a hit-by-pitch drove in the winning run for the Spikes... more

After Mother Nature forced a double-header on Wednesday, the last thing anybody on either team wanted to see was more rain. The Doubledays played two seven-inning games against the Tri-City ValleyCats that were once again delayed due to inclement weather. After it was all said and done following an hour-plus rain delay, Auburn (19-18) and Tri-City (22-16) split the doubleheader... more

If you left your seat at any point during Sunday’s game against the Connecticut Tigers at Falcon Park to grab a hotdog or a pretzel, there’s a good chance you missed at least a few innings. Both teams came sprinting out of the box – with the game reaching the fifth inning only an hour after the first pitch was... more

Once the West Virginia Black Bears finally got on the scoreboard, the Auburn Doubledays answered emphatically. The Black Bears scored their first two runs in the top of the eighth but the Doubledays put up a four-spot in the bottom half, as Auburn routed West Virginia, 9-2, at Falcon Park Monday. For Doubledays manager Jerad Head, a fast start offensively... more
