Slaughter Batters Auburn Big Time
Even as a kid, Luke Slaughter said his coaches told him the key to hitting was making contact, and letting everything else flow from there. At Samford Stadium – Hitchcock Field at Plainsman Park, Slaughter showed how well he learned that lesson.

The 20-year-old first baseman had 5 hits in 6 at-bats for the Missouri Tigers, helping his team knock off the Auburn Tigers by a score of 8-5.

"They always said, just keep your eye on the ball, don't overswing, make contact and you never know what will happen," he said. "That's all I did."

Luke Slaughter singled in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off John Lujano in the 4th, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th.

This season, Slaughter is batting at a .363 clip with 11 home runs and 29 RBIs.
