[WarTiger 3,901]

Maresette grounds to 2nd and she tags Perry to end the top half of the 5th.  Auburn leads 5-0

[WarTiger 3,901]

Evansville gets a couple of base runners and a fly ball to Gipson in right is deep enough for the runner at 3rd to tag and score.  5-1  Auburn 2 outs bottom 5th.

[jared52 4,354]

Shea made the wrong play there. She should have been running at the runner between 2nd and 3rd until that run committed to a base and thrown her out. Throwing behind the runner at first was the worst play she could have made there. You should tell coach wasn't happy.
