Here’s a fun, dramatic #Sports moment that you likely missed on Saturday evening.
The Auburn Tigers trailed the No. 3 Georgia Tech Blue Jackets 5-3 with two outs in the bottom of the ninth in Saturday’s Atlanta regional game in the NCAA Tournament. On an 0-2 pitch, Auburn left-handed hitter Steven Williams cranked an 0-2 breaking ball from Georgia Tech lefty Connor Thomas, and sent it over the right field wall for a walk-off three-run dinger.
WOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!! 😱😱😱

Auburn is now 2-0 in the Atlanta regional, securing a spot in the regional final. And Georgia Tech (the region’s top seed) faces a must-win situation against Coastal Carolina on Sunday, in order to get a chance at redemption against Auburn.
