Portageville's Taylor Tiffany verbally commits to AUM

Portageville softball pitcher Taylor Tiffany has verbally committed to Auburn University at Montgomery.

The junior, who broke the Missouri single season strikeout record while leading Portageville to a third place finish in Class 2, chose AUM over the University of Missouri, Southeast Missouri State University and Jackson University.

The Warhawks are fresh off its second-straight NAIA World Series win. First-year head coach Eric Newell, formerly of Williams Baptist College, was named the NAIA Coach of the Year while leading AUM to a 46-9 record.
