There’s really no other way to put it other than the Tigers limped to the finish line this season, the first under Mickey Dean. Auburn ended the SEC season with an 11-12 record, the first losing record since the 2012-2013 season when they finished 42-19-1 and 11-13 in conference before being defeated by Minnesota in the regionals.
Now is the time to be playing the best ball of the season, but the Tigers’ hitting has been woeful. Auburn scored two runs this passed weekend and have only scored more than four runs just six times in the last 18 games, something that was never an issue under Clint Myers.
