With Wednesday's blowout 16-1 mercy-rule win over Georgia State in five innings, Auburn softball has now won 15 games in six innings or fewer this season.
Auburn pitcher Marcy Harper pitched the first three innings and only allowed one run for another win going to a 14-0 record this season on the mound.
Auburn's bats came to play right from the top of the first inning when Kasey Cooper hit a two-run homer, which was her 10th home run of the year.
After loading the bases in the top of the third, Jade Rhodes brought all three runners home with a grand slam to make it 6-0.
Georgia State's lone run came in the bottom of the third on a solo home run by Taylor Anderson. Harper settled down after that and escaped the inning with no more runs allowed.
In the top of the fourth Cooper followed her earlier at-bat with another home run to make it 9-1 Auburn.
The Tigers put the game completely out of reach in the top of the fifth with seven more runs to make it 16-1. After a couple of RBI singles and a sacrifice fly RBI, Anna Gibbs continued the home run trend with a two-run shot for Auburn's last run of the game.
Hilary Mavromat took over for Harper in the fourth and fifth innings and kept Georgia State off the board to clinch Auburn's 16-1 victory.
The Tigers improve to 29-5-1 on the season after tonight's win and will play at Kentucky for a road series in Lexington this weekend.
