what the hell are we doing dropping down a sac. bunt in the 8th inning down by 3 runs? That's so incredibly stupid. then a line out to end the inning. Good Grief.

[TitanTiger 21,242]

Dang, Mummey tags one and the 1st baseman spears it. Headed to the 9th, still down 4-1.

Actually, Rod said he was trying to bunt his way on but directed it too close to the pitcher. It needed to be down the line since the infield was playing back.

We can not catch a break....I guess we are due a let down....

Auburn is a power hitting team. You win tourney's (especially big-park tourneys) through solid pitching. I fully expected a let down in Hoover based on our team's pattern of play. That said, I was hopeful for a big game by the pitchers and maybe a few small ball runs.

[RunInRed 18,354]

Blatt walks the bases loaded. Top of the 9th - 2 down.

[RunInRed 18,354]

Man oh man. Blatt walks in a run. 5-1 bama leads.

[TitanTiger 21,242]

Regions is not a power hitter's ballpark. You've got to hit them in the gaps and we haven't done that at all today.

[RunInRed 18,354]

Single to left. Two more score. Bama leads 7-1.

[WarTiger 4,018]

well, our hole just got a lot deeper. uat has plated 3 runs here. it's 7-1 spuat

[WarTiger 4,018]

well, thanks to several walks, and a hit batter...we are now down SIX.... bottom of the 9th... 7-1 cesspool.

Come on Tigers...

[RunInRed 18,354]

And AU heads to the bottom of the 9th, trailing 1-7.

- Fletcher grounds out - 1 down

- Morris fouls out - 2 down

And that's your ball game. AU plays again tomorrow at 9:30 AM I believe.

This sucks I cant believe i. We cant piss a drop.

And AU heads to the bottom of the 9th, trailing 1-7.

[TitanTiger 21,242]

Fletcher thought he got hit by the pitch but the ump ruled it hit the bat handle and he was thrown out at first. It is just not our day.

[WarTiger 4,018]

well, we dropped to the losers bracket and play tomorrow morning at 9:30 vs. the loser of Ole Miss/South Carolina. damn it.

I think we gotta win to ensure hosting a regional now. Damn. I would have bet heavy AU would have won this game.

[Mikey 16,781]

Unpleasant but not entirely unexpected. With our pitching and infield defense being what they are, we pretty much need to score 5+ runs to win a game and 10+ is better.

We are going to have a problem in any game where their pitching and D can hold us to a low scoring game.

[autigeremt 7,208]

I would never bet on baseball....esp. college baseball.

If history proves positive, we are right where we needed to be. Auburn has played great baseball this season after losing the first game of SEC series. Hope we can continue that trend.

[WinCrimson 61]

6 straight wins for Bama

6 straight wins for Bama

In the SEC Tourney? I guess the loses in between don't count, which would be par for the course as Bammers can't count anyway.
