AUBURN, Ala. – No. 11 Auburn softball dropped game one of the three-game series with No. 8 Tennessee 2-1 as the Tigers’ comeback effort fell just short in extra innings Friday at Jane B. Moore Field.
Trailing 1-0 with no outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, senior Courtney Shea sent a jolt throughout the stadium as she blasted a leadoff solo homer to right field to tie the game at 1-1. Tennessee reliever Matty Moss then struck-out the side to close the door and send the game to extras.
The Lady Vols struck first in the top of the eighth on a RBI single with two outs to lead 2-1.
