Eric Eiland had two hits and drove in two runs, while Auburn starter Scott Gracey pitched six innings of four-hit baseball in the Doubledays 6-1 victory at State College Wednesday.
Auburn took a 2-0 lead in the second inning when Jack Murphy scored on a throwing error and Lance Durham crossed home after a bases-loaded walk to Chris Hopkins.
Gracey's only hiccup came in the bottom of the second when he surrendered an Edward Garcia triple, followed by a Ty Summerlin RBI single. Gracey improved his record to 1-2 as he walked only two and struck out seven.
Josh Wells earned the save, pitching three shutout innings in relief.
Durham went 3-for-3 and Hopkins also had two hits in the victory. They both added RBIs as well.
The Doubledays had no errors in the game, one night after committing five in an extra-inning loss to Jamestown.
Auburn (5-7) plays State College again tonight.
