Auburn baseball battled adversity in the form of both weather delays and an early 2-0 deficit in its elimination game against UCF on Sunday, but prevailed by hitting six solo home runs and outhitting the Knights, 10-6. Auburn’s pitching was also dealt its easiest hand of the Auburn Regional as Alex Petrovic and Ryan Hetzler carried the load by striking out a combined 11 batters.

Next up, Auburn will face the Milwaukee Panthers. The Cinderella Panthers stunned UCF on Saturday night to advance to the Auburn Regional final and need just one win to move on to the NCAA Super Regionals. Milwaukee has scored 26 runs over its two games in Auburn and would love nothing more than to beat the host Tigers a second time.
