The Tigers responded in the bottom of the fifth as Jay Estes came to the plate with the bases loaded and hit a single and knocked in two runs. The Tigers did not add to the scoreboard for the rest of the night.
On the defensive side of the ball, Auburn’s Daniel Robert came in relief and pitched four scoreless innings.
Troy would defeat Auburn 5-2.
The Trojans will be looking to build on their five game win streak this weekend in Conway, South Carolina against Coastal Carolina.
