Auburn’s return offer falls short of the 6-5 loss to South Carolina

After dropping five races in the fourth entry, Auburn’s tried to close the gap but ended up falling short. Scoring four unanswered races in the last three starts brought the Tigers into one race, but the recovery came too late and South Carolina’s No. 19 came out with a 6-5 victory.

“We kind of lost in the first four entries,” said coach Mickey Dean. “We didn’t play well. We didn’t hit well and we had a bad field selection. Our defense didn’t make good decisions. I think three times we lost the ball on the outside field and gave up another 60 feet, and that The runner ended up scoring. But I love our battle. In the last two innings, some boys got off the bench and made good defensive plays. It’s hard to go out and hit a hit and succeed, but we had some kids do it. Even though it was a defeat, I told them this is a great game to learn, but you have to be willing to learn from it as coaches and players. “

Makenna Dowell chose the medium with an RBI to take Alyssa Rivera to mark Tiger’s first race in the first inning.

Junior Aspyn Godwin hit a homerun to the left on the field on the 6th inning, with an RBI and also a hit.

Tyler King bet two on two with two hits and scored a run.

Junior right-handed Samantha Yarbrough, in her first season start, left with the defeat. Although she had four eliminations during her 3.2 starts, she gave up 6 runs of 6 strokes, as well as two walks.

Lexie Handley senior in the red shirt launched in relief from Yarbrough and was strong. She allowed her team to fight to the end by launching the final 3.1 innings, allowing only three hits, five eliminations and no runs, helping to prevent South Carolina from moving away.

At the end of the seventh, King came out with a single in the middle. Two more Tigers were placed in goal, with one eliminated when the Gamecocks made two mistakes, but the South Carolina defense pushed the home plate a second time.

Haley Nillen, a junior hitter, closed the deficit in a race with an RBI single, but the Tigers could not continue the momentum and the Gamecocks held on to win with a ball on the ground for first base for the final.
