TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Picked to finish last in the SEC West, Butch Thompson’s second Auburn team came within one out of advancing to a Super Regional.
“As a head coach, you always wish you could’ve done something for your players to help them just one more inch,” Thompson said. “So I want to release our players from that because they did everything in their power for us, all year since I’ve been head coach at Auburn.”
Florida State ended Auburn’s season Monday, winning 6-0. The Tigers (37-26) won the first two games of the Tallahassee regional, then were one out away from completing an epic comeback Sunday before losing to the host team 8-7 in 10 innings.
