Former Northview and Dothan High standouts Blake Burkhalter and Chase Allsup played key pitching roles in Auburn’s 4-3 win Wednesday night over Tennessee Tech at Huntsville’s Toyota Field.
Burkhalter, a junior who graduated from Northview in 2019, picked up the pitching win with a dominating relief performance. Burkhalter entered in the top of the eighth and struck out all four batters he faced – the No. 1 through 4 hitters in the Tennessee Tech lineup,
"It was crazy," Burkhalter said of the finish."My body is still shaking because I was so excited. I used to be nervous in that situation, but I eat it up now. I look forward to it. That nervousness turns to excitement. I'm ready for it now." Auburn was trailing 3-2 going to the eighth, but scored twice in the last half to give Burkhalter the pitching win. He is now 2-0 on the season with a 1.04 earned run average. Over five appearances, Burkhalter has pitched 8 2/3 innings and has struck out 13 and walked none, while giving up just three hits and one run.
