The college baseball season got underway over the weekend at Plainsman Park as the Auburn Tigers hosted the Flames from Illinois-Chicago. 

It was a very impressive debut for the Tigers as they swept the four-game series in dominating fashion. Auburn scored a combined 44 runs during the four games while giving up only seven. All four starting pitchers were credited with a victory and combined to strike out 29 UIC batters. In total, the Tiger pitching staff struck out 49 and walked only 12.
