Bases loaded 1 out. Slow roller to 2nd. Too slow. Only got the out at 2nd. Run scored. 
3-2 Vandy.

Armstrong is shaky.

Ware hits a 2 run homer.

Vandy up 6-4.

Ididn’t like the switch to Armstrong. That created a lot of odd happenings. 
 

But what do I know.

Well. That was anti-climactic.

Good guys go down 6-4.

We get the turds tomorrow.

I pray it’s not the same blue behind the plate. Close games can really be affected by inconsistency.

And right on cue, the game ends on a bad strike call and frame job. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't annoyed by like 4 things right now.

1. The Vandy whistler might be the most annoying person in the state of Alabama right now.

2. The 4 guys sitting behind the plate still aren't funny. 

3. This ump was wildly inconsistent down the stretch.

And 4. Walks killed us.

In that order 😅

No. 5 seed Auburn loses 6-4 vs. No.4 seed Vanderbilt in SEC Tournament

Updated: May. 25, 2023, 6:11 a.m.|Published: May. 25, 2023, 12:26 a.m.
3–4 minutes

Auburn third baseman Bryson Ware’s two-run ninth-inning home run brought the Tigers tantalizingly close to victory. However, Auburn’s trio of long balls wasn’t enough to prevent the Tigers from losing 6-4 against Vanderbilt in the double-elimination portion of the 2023 SEC baseball tournament at Hoover Met.

Ware tied Hunter Morris (2010) for the most home runs (23) in a season in program history.

“That was a big home run. That made it possible in the ninth,” Auburn coach Butch Thompson said. “That was a big one. What an amazing year. I couldn’t be more proud for Bryson.”

Wednesday night’s loss means the Tigers will have to regroup quickly in preparation for an elimination game in the afternoon (pitch time slated for 1 p.m.) against rival Alabama.

“We’ll be ready to go tomorrow,” Thompson “We’ll get to bed and get ready to fight. They’ve got a great roster. It’ll be awesome to play them. We need to bounce back.”

Alabama lost against No.1 seed Florida in a game before Auburn’s defeat. Alabama had a three-run lead in the bottom of the tenth that turned into a 7-6 loss on a BT Riopelle walk-off three-run homer.

The two teams met in their lone series in April, with Alabama winning two of the three games in the series that took place in Tuscaloosa.

Tigers shortstop Cole Foster’s home run in the top of the first opened up the scoring for Auburn. The Tiger advantage wouldn’t last through the next half-inning. Vandy centerfielder Enrique Bradfield Jr. put on a baserunning clinic with Auburn starting pitcher Chase Allsup on the mound.

Bradfield Jr. stole second and third base on consecutive pitches, a Davis Diaz single scored Bradfield Jr. to make it a 1-1 game; Diaz eventually crossed home plate himself to give the Commodores a lead they would not relinquish.

“Bradfield put pressure on us,” Thompson said. “He leads off with a walk and ends up scoring. We created a lot of offense for them by giving up walks and not finishing at-bats on our end.”

Auburn infielder Chris Stanfield’s 418-foot blast tied the game at two in the third inning. Allsup got past his first-inning struggles with fourth consecutive scoreless frames. Vanderbilt scored a run on a fielder’s choice by Troy LaNeve with the bases loaded to drive in Diaz, breaking a 2-2 deadlock, giving Vandy a 3-2 lead.

Vanderbilt relief pitcher Patrick Reilly took over for starter Sam Hliboki in the fifth inning. Auburn struggled to score against Reilly until Ware’s ninth-inning two-run home run opened the door for a comeback before it was eventually slammed shut, putting the Tigers on the brink of elimination in a matter of hours, against their biggest rival.

“Bryson gave us a chance to get back in this one,” Thompson said. “We left some runs out there. We made some errors in the field. We took strikes and swung at balls. We’ll have to play better if we’re going to advance in this tournament.

Now it's time to wait and see. Hope Vandy wins it all to help our case.

 

Edit: Forgot it was still double elimination at this point. Disregard.

Back at it today. Hopefully stay awake for all of it today. Tired of middle night baseball. Good job on the thread @ArgoEagle except we lost. Maybe we can correct that today. Then again I don’t get a lot of heartburn over the SEC tournament. Just try and enjoy it.
