Entering Sunday’s series finale against LSU, the Tigers were a win away from the regular season title.
Moments after Auburn began its game with LSU today, Florida lost its final game against Missouri, opening the door for Auburn to take the championship if the Tigers from the Plains were able to complete the sweep over the Tigers of the Bayou.
However, Auburn was only able to muster one run on five hits in the game as LSU starting pitcher Carley Hoover tallied 12 strikeouts, leading LSU to the 7-1 victory.
With the loss, Auburn finishes second in the SEC standings behind Florida and will take the No.
