Game Story
Jamestown 7 Auburn 5
Jamestown 6 Auburn 3
In game one Chris Leonard was rocked for four runs in 2.2 innings. Leonard gave up seven hits with one walk and a hit batter. Auburn battled back to score three in the bottom of the third, Chip Cannon homered, and singles by Klosterman, Corrente and Esposito scored two more. Unfortunately Eddie Cannon allowed three runs in the top of the fourth, all runs were unearned due to an error.
Adam Lind homered in the fourth but Auburn could not score again until the seventh. Auburn had the bases loaded with one out but could only score one on a groundout. Corrente and Esposito had two hits each out of Auburn's total of eight hits.
In the nightcap Juan Perez started, pitched 5.1 innings, and left with Auburn ahead 3-2. Auburn had scored two on a double by Adam Lind and the thrid run came on a home run from Joey Metropoulos .
Joey McLaughlin Jr. did an impression of his father, he allowed four runs on only one hit but the Doubledays made three errors in the inning. A lead off walk started the problem. A single, a Greg Powers error, an intentional walk, an Eric Nielsen error, and a Ryan Klosterman error let Jamestown score four.
