Leading up to the SEC Tournament semi-final with LSU, Track ‘Em Tigers had a preview of the LSU Tigers and what to expect from the Tiger-on-Tiger matchup. Auburn hoped to avoid the same fate as Tennessee, the SEC Tournament host. The Vols played the red-hot purple Tigers close until Volunteer ace Maddy Moss was pulled after coaches believed LSU had figured out the diminutive pitcher’s 70 MPH fastball.
Disaster struck Tennessee when a wild pitch, a passed ball, an infield single, and an error resulted in a five-run inning. Elsewhere in the inning, LSU added a single up the middle, a blooper to right field, and a double.
