Auburn baseball is in Arlington, Texas, and ready to battle the Kansas State Wildcats in the first game of the Amegy College Baseball Series in Globe Life Field, home of the Texas Rangers.
No. 9 Auburn baseball swept Youngstown State last weekend to open the season by winning a pair of one-run games before putting on an offensive clinic in game three of the series, beating the Penguins, 17-2.
The Tigers will turn to Virginia Tech transfer Jake Marciano on the mound Friday night. Marciano turned in a quality performance in Auburn's season-opening 2-1 win over Youngstown State last Friday by striking out 12 batters and allowing two hits over five complete innings. He gave up the lone run of his start in the 4th inning on a solo home run.
Kansas State is 4-0 after sweeping the competition at the MLB Desert Invitational in Arizona last weekend. Several names to watch in the Wildcats lineup include Dee Kennedy, who leads the team in home runs (3) and RBI (15), and Carlos Vasquez, who leads the Wildcats in average at .556. James Guyette, Kansas State's starting pitcher for Friday's game, struck out eight batters and allowed four earned runs in the Wildcats' season-opening win over Iowa last Friday.
