#18 Boston College Clobbered by Auburn 16-1
There are games when a team clearly doesn't have it. On Saturday, Boston College had a major hiccup in their season, as they were trounced by Auburn 16-1.
This game has it's wheels fall off quickly, as starter Emmett Sheehan got into trouble early. In the first inning he walked two to load up the bases, which was followed up by a grand slam by Tigers designated hitter Cam Hill. Sheehan looked better in the second, but got into trouble again in the third and was pulled shortly after. In just 2+ innings of work, Sheehan allowed eight earned runs.
The bullpen didn't fare much better, allowing eight runs in seven innings of work. While BC struggled, Auburn got a strong performance from their starter Mason Barnett who only allowed two hits in 5 2/3 innings.

Third baseman Rankin Woley score five runs in a 2-for-2 game with a walk and was twice hit by a pitch. Catcher Stevan Williams scored three times, walked twice, drove in two and finished 2-for-3.
