2,177 air miles separate the Auburn Campus and the stadium in Corvallis, Oregon, but the journey was made Thursday. Butch Thompson has Auburn Baseball two wins away from The College World Series again, but the wins will have to come on the road against Oregon State. The Tigers are a pedestrian 10-8 in true road games this season, but this team is getting hot at the right time. Auburn scored 50 runs to sweep their regional and they match up well with The Beavers. Friday will be about getting used to the clock. First pitch is 9:00 pm central. Late night baseball is on tap for the weekend, Butch just hopes his team is still dancing when the clock strikes midnight. – Jim Dunaway
