[WarTiger 3,987]

single by James Madison scores a run. Auburn trails for the first time all season 2-1. still no outs runner at 1st...

[WarTiger 3,987]

lost my feed for a while and it comes back to commercials. Not sure why they went to commercials unless Auburn is making a pitching change or they lost their feed from Florida.

[WarTiger 3,987]

technical difficulties apparently as Auburn apparently got out of the inning. Going to the bottom 4th Auburn trails 2-1.

[WarTiger 3,987]

Gipson, Shea and McCrackin coming up for Auburn

[WarTiger 3,987]

Announcer is interviewing the host of the tournament and basically completely ignoring the game action. Gipson with a ground ball on the infield for 1 out. Shea coming up.

[WarTiger 3,987]

Shea grounded out too but we had no idea what the count was as the announcer is completely ignoring the game action. Not very professional IMO. McCrackin strikes out swinging to end the inning. After 4 complete, Auburn trails 2-1

[WarTiger 3,987]

Apparently we have a rules question as it appears an NCAA RULES advisor is at 3rd base. Auburn is wanting to drag the field around 1st and 3rd as the field conditions aren't what the Auburn coaches think they should be. The umpires apparently weren't going to allow it so Auburn protested and from what I can tell, took their players off the field.
