Auburn Doubledays News Release
AUBURN, N.Y. - The Auburn Doubledays (7-3) completed a three-game sweep of the Jamestown Jammers (3-7) on Wednesday night with a 7-0 win at Falcon Park. The win is the fifth of the season for the Doubledays at home, as the team remains unbeaten when playing in Auburn.
