Here we go TIGERS!!!!

[WarTiger 3,896]

Draper steps in the box and we are under way.  

[WarTiger 3,896]

Draper high chopper to deep short, throw late and Draper is aboard.   McCrackin up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Draper, naturally, steals 2nd.  

[WarTiger 3,896]

McCrackin flies to right.   Draper tags and moves to 3rd with 1 out.   Courtney Shea up.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Shea draws a walk.  Runners on 1st and 3rd with 1 out for Kendall Veach.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Bree Fornis in to pinch run for Shea.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Fornis steals 2nd.  Runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Veach flies to shallow right, 2nd baseman goes out to get it, makes the catch, Draper tags, but the throw comes home and its in time to get Draper to end the inning.

[WarTiger 3,896]

There's another example of the announcers not knowing the rules.  Stepping on the line is NOT being out of the box.  Stepping OVER it and having your foot outside of it is being out of the box.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Rivera and Dowell ground to left side.  2 outs.  Tannon Snow up.

Snow lines it to right field for a single, throw comes in to 1st and its close but Snow reaches.    Perry up

Podany singles up the middle to lead off the top 3rd.   Draper coming up

[WarTiger 3,896]

passed ball on the catcher and Podany moves to 2nd.

[AUDub 11,131]

Draper is so dang fast she makes fielders rush their play. Got us a run there.

Any part of the foot out of the box at contact is an out.  It can be just a toe outside the line. 

[AUDub 11,131]

Ole Miss having a bit of a defensive come apart in the infield.

Did this move McCrackin along or is she still at 1st?

Out of the inning now with a 3-0 lead. McCrackin advanced to 3rd on a Shea routine grounder that somehow got through the 2Bs legs (probably thinking about the DP) but was caught in a rundown on Veach's at bat. Shea advanced to third during the rundown and scored on a sac hit to 1B next play. Inning ended on a routine grounder to third.

[WarTiger 3,896]

had to run away for a bit.  Auburn plates 3 runs in the top 3rd and lead 3-0

I know that.  That's not what the announcer said.

[WarTiger 3,896]

Snow, Perry and Podany coming up.  Snow chops it to the left side.  1 out.
