I probably won&#8217;t get a better one than this. Sadly he was tagged with the loss yesterday, his first of the season:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/mar13\/mar42.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Auburn was swept by Vanderbilt, losing 5-2, 8-1, 8-6. Vanderbilt is a really good team, number two for a reason, but all of last year&#8217;s problems crept back up for Auburn. You can&#8217;t give the second-ranked team in the nation mental mistakes and errors when facing two first round pitchers. You can&#8217;t strand 25 runners across the weekend, but Auburn did. Third baseman Damek Tomscha left six on base himself:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/mar13\/mar43.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Connor Harrell drove in three runs and scored three himself for the Commodores this weekend:<\/p>\n<p><center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kennysmith.org\/photo\/mar13\/mar44.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Below you&#8217;re going to find out the story behind this balloon.

He just happens to be here. Engaging guy, we see him everywhere, he never ceases to amaze. He works the baseball games on some weekends. He stopped by and asked if anyone wanted a balloon and someone asked for Taylor Swift and the screaming goat. (Look it up.) <\/p>\n<p>Dewayne went right to it. &#8220;Sure!&#8221; And then he probably came to regret taking up the challenge. But it was awesome. Now I hope the guy that got the balloon figures out a way to preserve it.
