Auburn’s pitching pitching staff has given the team a chance through the first two games of the CWS, turning in solid performances on the mound against both Ole Miss and Stanford.
Not bad for the junior right-hander, who not only bounced back from a rough Super Regional start against Oregon State eight days prior but who Thompson said afterward was “one hitter away” from coming out of the game in the second inning against Stanford.
The Tigers’ pitching staff has given the team a chance through the first two games, turning in solid performances on the mound against both Ole Miss and Stanford. In 18 innings, Auburn’s pitchers have allowed six runs while striking out 29 and walking just three batters. That included a 16-to-1 strikeout-to-walk ratio during Monday’s win against one of the nation’s best offensive teams, which was held to just eight hits and two runs — none of which came after the second inning.
“You know the bases are loaded, but you have to flush it,” Burkhalter said. “…I was right on the brink of walking him, but thankfully I had that strikeout and got us off the field.” “Honestly, it’s all starting to click at the right time,” Burkhalter said. “I can’t really like put a finger on where like what exactly what part of my game is getting better, but I know like my focus when I came come in the game I’m there first through nine innings ready to go. Just the mental aspect, that’s been locked since postseason play has come around, and everything is starting to click on the mound.
