After being swept by Mississippi State this past weekend, Auburn baseball bounced back with a 9-1 victory over Bethune-Cookman to improve to 26-22 on the season.
Daniel Koger got the win for Auburn while improving his record to 2-0 this year.
Bethune-Cookman took the 1-0 lead in the top of the third with an RBI single but Auburn's bats responded in the rest of the game.
Auburn took the lead in the bottom of the fourth starting with an RBI single by Jordan Ebert and then a two-out RBI triple from Keegan Thompson to make it 2-1.
Anfernee Grier and Damon Haecker continued the two-out rally with back-to-back RBI singles. Ebert hit another RBI single later in the inning to increase their lead to 5-1.
In the bottom of the fifth Dan Glevenyak hit a two-out two-RBI single to make it 7-1.
Auburn continued their scoring trend in the bottom of the sixth when Ebert hit a bases-loaded two-RBI double to keep Auburn's lead at 9-1.
Justin Camp replaced Koger in the seventh inning and he escaped the inning without allowing a run.
Then Robby Clements started off the top of the eighth pitching before Ryan Tella got his first career collegiate pitching appearance. Tella was able to get out of the inning and keep their lead at 9-1.
Trey Cochran-Gill came on in the ninth to clinch the Auburn victory.
Auburn will look to keep this momentum going into their road trip at Lexington in a SEC series against Kentucky this weekend.
