Auburn baseball continued its winning streak Friday night with Sunny Golloway's first SEC victory against No. 23 Texas A&M 4-0.
In Dillon Ortman's second ever start against a conference opponent, he shined with a complete game shutout with Auburn not needing to go to the bullpen and only allowing four hits.
"I thought Dillon was pretty special," Golloway said. "He pretty much had command of all his pitches. He lost control of his slider on one hitter. That's the only time I can remember we lost control on one particular pitch."
Sophomore Jordan Ebert continued his hot streak at the plate with three hits.
"We are really starting to believe we can do it in the locker room, and I think that makes the biggest difference," Ebert said. "You saw it with our football team. They go in and have a lot of close games against below average to pretty good teams. As soon as they realized they were good enough to do it, that's where it all changed."
Auburn got on the board early with two runs in the first inning due to RBIs by Blake Austin and Daniel Robert.
In the following inning, Auburn added their third run after they loaded up the bases and Keegan Thompson hit a fielder's choice RBI to score Damon Haecker.
Auburn's final run came in the eighth inning when Texas A&M's pitcher threw a wild pitch to score Thompson.
Auburn is looking to continue it's six-game winning streak with a double header tomorrow at Plainsman Park against Texas A&M.
