[WarTiger 3,901]

Here we go Auburn.  Chilly day in Auburn.  Let's heat it up quickly.  Let's score early and often.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Higher quality announce team than I expected in this one.  I guess with SEC Network airing game 2, they might as well do both since they were expected to do the game last night.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Martin gives up a double but nothing else.  Auburn coming to bat.   Wallace, Cooper and Fagan coming up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Wallace grounds to 3rd.  1 out.   Kasey Cooper up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Cooper draws a walk.  None of the pitches were really close even though one was called a strike.  It was significantly outside.   Fagan up. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Fagan draws a walk.  Runners on 1st and 2nd with 1 out for Kendall Veach.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Veach strikes out looking.  2 out.s  Courtney Shea coming up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Shea strikes out swinging to end the 1st.  After 1, no score.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Myers has a valid argument here.  McCrackin played that perfectly and her leg blocked the runner from getting to the base and she was out.  Umpire was behind the play and couldn't see that her left hand didn't get to the base until after she was tagged.   She should have been out.

[WarTiger 3,901]

single up the middle plates 2 for lspuke. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

chopper to cooper and she looks the runner back at 3rd and throws to McCrackin at 2nd to get the out.   Next batter up, lines one to left and Podany makes the catch to end the inning.  Going to the bottom of the 2nd, Auburn trails 2-0.

Gipson, Podany and McCrackin coming up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Gipson grounds to short.  1 out.   Podany up

[WarTiger 3,901]

Podany singles up the middle.  runner on 1st for Casey McCrackin.

[WarTiger 3,901]

McCrackin loops one to 3rd.  2 outs.  Draper up  and she drops a bunt down toward 1st but played perfectly and that will end the 2nd.  After 2 complete, Auburn trails 2-0.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Martin doesn't seem to have the control of her pitches that she normally does.  lspuke plates another run. and has runners on 1st and 2nd still no outs in the inning.  3-0

[WarTiger 3,901]

bases loaded with no outs and a grounder to McCrackin and she goes to 2nd and throw it wide and gets into shallow left. 2  more score.  This one is getting away from Auburn in a hurry.  5-0

[WarTiger 3,901]

Martin gets a strikeout looking.  2 outs.  runners on 1st and 3rd. 

[WarTiger 3,901]

Chopper to Fagan and throw in time to get out of the inning.  Going to the bottom 3rd, Auburn trails 5-0.  Top of the order up for Auburn.  Wallace, Cooper and Fagan. Let's get back in this thing right here.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Wallace loops one to right to start the 3rd.   Runner on 1st.  Cooper up

[WarTiger 3,901]

Cooper hit by a pitch on the first pitch she sees.  up and in on the elbow.    Runners on 1st and 2nd.   Fagan up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Fagan pops it up on the infield.  1 out.   Kendall Veach up

[WarTiger 3,901]

Veach pops up to 2nd.  2 outs.   Runners on 1st and 2nd for Courtney Shea

[WarTiger 3,901]

Shea strikes out swinging and Auburn leaves the runner stranded.  5-0 after 3.
