Ground ball gets Auburn out of thinning.  Going to the bottom 3rd, Auburn trails 3-1.    Cooper, Fagan, Shea coming up.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Cooper laces one to right and its fair and down the line to the wall. Cooper rounds 2nd and advances to 3rd with a standup triple to start the 3rd.   Fagan up.   Cooper may have been able to score on that, but Myers held her up at 3rd and the ball wasn't on the infield yet that I could tell.

[WarTiger 3,901]

Draper drops a bunt down right out in front, throw to 1st not in time, Podany goes all the way to 3rd on the play.   Runners on 1st and 3rd with two outs and back to the top of the order.  Wallace.   Wallace rips one down the line at 1st and its fair and into the corner.  Wallace never stops running and comes all the way around to score and clears the bases.   Podany scores, Draper scores and Wallace scores.  Think it will be scored a triple and an error.    8-3 Auburn.   Cooper up.
