[WarTiger 3,896]

missouri gets a base runner on a walk but nothing else.  Auburn coming up.   Wallace, Cooper and Fagan.  Let's get some runs early.

[WarTiger 3,896]

wow... Wallace out on strikes on a pitch well below the knees.   unbelievable.  1 out.  Cooper up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Cooper sends one deep to center and it drops and off the wall.  Cooper stands at 2nd with a double (should have scored a run).    Fagan up.  1 out.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Fagan grounds to short.  2 outs.  Rivera up.   Announcer often gets confused as to which position is 2nd and which is shortstop.  He called that a grounder to 2nd.

Gotta get hits with runners in scoring position that's killing us

[WarTiger 3,896]

Rivera singles through the left side just out of the reach of the 3rd baseman.  Cooper held up at 3rd, throw comes home, Rivera takes 2nd on the throw.   Veach up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Veach strikes out looking to end the inning.   Scoreless after 1.

[WeagleAU 594]

Already on a bad track with runners in scoring position and coming up empty...Auburn was 0 for 8 yesterday

[WarTiger 3,896]

Martin walks the first batter of the 2nd on 4 pitches and none were close.    Myers and the trainer comes out and based on what I can tell from the footage, looks like Martin may have a blister or maybe a cut on her thumb.  She takes practice pitch as the home plate umpire watches and she stays in the game.

[WarTiger 3,896]

swinging bunt to the 1st base side, Wallace fields, throw to 1st and Veach can't make the catch and 2 frickin' runs score on what should have ended the inning.  damn it.   Auburn trailing 2-0 in the top 2nd.

[WarTiger 3,896]

fly ball to left ends the top 2nd.    Auburn coming up trailing 2-0.    Greenwood, Shea and McCrackin up.,

[WarTiger 3,896]

Greenwood grounds to short.  1 out.  Shea coming up

[WarTiger 3,896]

Shea grounds to short. 2 outs.  McCrackin up

[WarTiger 3,896]

McCrackin draws a 2 out walk.  Draper coming up

[WarTiger 3,896]

Draper strikes out looking to end the 2nd.  Auburn trailing 2-0.

[AU64 10,122]

Is this team really that slow on the base paths.....we rarely steal a base and are very conservative on base running....which seems to cause us require 2 or 3 hits just to get a run across.

[WarTiger 3,896]

base hit for missouri, erased with a double play to end the inning.   Top of the order due up for Auburn.  Wallace, Cooper and Fagan.  Let's get some runs here.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Wallace flies to center.  1 out.  Cooper up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Center singles to center.  Haley Fagan coming up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Fagan grounder to 3rd, throw to 1st in time.  2 outs.  Cooper at 2nd.  Rivera up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

High chopper to short, shortstop fields, throw to 1st not in time.  Runners on 1st and 3rd with 2 outs. Kendall Veach up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Veach flies to center to end the 3rd.  Auburn trailing 2-0
