Blyth battles Auburn in hard-hitting game It was a high-scoring, hard-hit- ting competition when Auburn came to Blyth, Aug. 6, to bat the ball around the diamond. New recruit Ben Caldwell had two big hits while helping on defense as well. Justin Ritchie added to the team total by smashing a grand slam. Eric Caldwell did his job with sev- eral singles. Brittney Cook made a good defensive play, getting a runner out at second. However, the Blyth team took 31-19 loss.
