That's better hitting

Greenwood flies to left to end the 6th.  Auburn leads 5-3.

[jared52 4,354]

Well, missed opportunity there but a two run lead for the top of the 7th is better than losing! Get three more outs, ladies!

[WarTiger 3,896]

2 walks to start the 7th.   Need to close this one out here.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Bouncer to Fagan at short and she goes to 3rd to get the lead runner. 1 out.

[jared52 4,354]

Good play by Haley to get the lead runner on that high chopper.

Another big play by Haley to get the second out at first. Runners at 2nd and 3rd. 2 out...

[WarTiger 3,896]

Chopper up the middle, Fagan charges, gloves it and throw to 1st.  2 outs.   Runners on 2nd and 3rd.

[jared52 4,354]

Intentional walk after falling behind 2-0. Bases loaded. 

[WarTiger 3,896]

Chopper deep at short, throw to 1st not in time, throw immediately goes home, Wallace runs the runner back toward 3rd, throw to Cooper and Cooper applies the tag.  AUBURN WINS 5-4. 

[jared52 4,354]

Wow. Crazy finish. Chopper to Fagan but it's too deep and the runner at first is safe. Run scores. And the runner from second tries to score on the throw to first but she's caught in a run down halfway between home and third. Wallace flips to Coop who tags the runner for the final out. 

[AU64 10,122]

Big mizz base running mistake...ends the game.....and nice to save the victory. 

[jared52 4,354]

Great job by Veach there to know that runner was going and make the quick throw home. 

 

Thanks as always @WarTiger for the play-by-play. Couldn't watch until the top of the 7th, but what an exciting half inning!

[WeagleAU 594]

Great win!  Let's win the series tomorrow!

[BJCrawford 1,568]

And it completes another Saturday where bama softball and baseball lose and both au teams win....that's always a great day!

[lutzcammed 469]

Good win.  I'm afraid I've gotten spoiled over the past couple of years. A win should never feel like a loss.

I almost expect blowouts. And I shouldn't. 

Good job girls, pull it out tommorrow.

We needed that type of win. Winning from behind will be a confidence booster heading to game 3. Keep waiting for the homerun with the bases loaded, but great clutch hit by Wallace to score the 3. Still ended the inning bases juiced. Great play by Veach at the end to know the game was still alive.  Great awareness that resulted in a win.
