This 2011 Auburn baseball team is going quietly into the night. This afternoon I watch as we lose to South Carolina 7 to 3. This team comes into the SEC Tournament needing at least one win to be eligible for the NCAA Tournament. With a record now of 29 & 28 one more loss without a win will mean no winning season and we won't qualify for a bid even if we get one, which is not a sure thing anyway.
The team puts a 3-spot on the board in the firt inning, but alas, that's it. The bats roar at the start and I'm encouraged but then the bats go quiet. The USC pitcher goes the distance and retires the final 13 Auburn batters. We shuffle in one pitcher after another after Jacobs can only go 3 innings. The Gamecocks tie the game at 3 in the bottom of the second and peck away for 4 more runs.
South Carolina is a good team. I'll be surprised if they are not back in the NCAA World Series.
I was hoping that Auburn would put up a fight, they did not. This team is going quickly into the night.
