After a 20 minute delay of the start of the game due to rain, Auburn got a complete game shutout pitching performance from senior Reed Underwood for a 4-0 win over the Fort Chiswell Pioneers on Tuesday in a Mountain Empire District semifinal clash.

Underwood gave up seven hits, while striking out six and issuing two walks. Auburn jumped on the Pioneers in the very first inning scoring three runs on four hits off Pioneer pitcher Landon McClure.

Tyler Sparrer doubled to left center for the Eagles, Carter Keith singled to left and then AJ Reece stroked a single to right that scored both Sparrer and Keith. After a couple of outs, Rusty Marshall drove in Reece.
