Softball Game Preview: Auburn Tigers vs. Lee-Scott Academy Warriors

The Auburn Tigers are taking a road trip to take on the Lee-Scott Academy Warriors at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday. Auburn's pitching crew has only allowed 3.2 runs per game this season, so Lee-Scott Academy's hitters will have their work cut out for them.

Auburn gave up the first runs on Tuesday, but they didn't let that get them down. They came out on top against Beauregard by a score of 7-2. The victory continues a trend for the Tigers in their matchups with the Hornets: they've now won nine in a row.

Lily Brewer looked comfortable as she tossed three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. What's more, she gave up only zero walks, the fewest she's had since back in April of 2024.

On the hitting side, Laina Rae Sawyer was incredible, scoring two runs while going 4-for-4. That's the most runs she has posted since back in February of 2024. Daley Alsobrook was another key player, scoring a run while going 2-for-4.

Auburn kept the outfield on their toes and finished the game with 13 hits. That's the most hits they've managed all season.

Meanwhile, Lee-Scott Academy unfortunately witnessed the end of their seven-game winning streak two weeks ago. They lost 11-1 to Beulah. The pitching woes were uncharacteristic for the Warriors, who until this match were averaging 3.25 runs allowed.

Lee-Scott Academy saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Addison Mezick, who went 1-for-2 with one home run. That home run was Mezick's first of the season.

Lee-Scott Academy's defeat dropped their record down to 8-4. As for Auburn, their record is now 10-2.

Auburn was able to grind out a solid win over Lee-Scott Academy when the teams last played back in February, winning 6-1. The rematch might be a little tougher for Auburn since the team won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
