College Baseball Magic in the 'Burn!

Auburn Tigers baseball pulled off an unforgettable moment this week that'll have Plainsman Park buzzing for ages! In a midweek game against Jacksonville State, with the Tigers comfortably ahead, something truly special happened.

A Moment to Remember

With the score at 18-0, Auburn got to shuffle the lineup and give some fresh faces a chance. For one player, it was his first game action all season! This wasn't just anyone, though. It was Andrew Dutton, a recent addition from the now-closed Birmingham Southern, where he starred and helped them to the D3 College World Series.

From Coach to Hero

This year, Dutton joined the Tigers as a graduate assistant and first base coach. But on Tuesday, he got his shot at the plate in an Auburn uniform. And did he deliver! Dutton absolutely CRUSHED a home run to right field! The dugout went wild, erupting in celebration for their beloved teammate and coach. It was pure joy and a testament to how much they respect him.

The Perfect Script

Seriously, you couldn't have written a better story! Dutton's first at-bat, a towering home run, is a moment he and Auburn fans will cherish forever. What a way to enter the game – pure baseball magic!
