Shortstop Daniel Schneemann throws the ball. He had four assists, including one coming from bluffing a Tiger runner from scoring at third base in the seventh inning to keep the game close in a 4-3 loss at No. 18 Auburn.

No. 18 Auburn used the bat of Edouard Julien and its pitchers to defeat BYU, 4-3, on Friday night and remain unbeaten at 10-0.

Julien belted a three-run homer in the second and hit a sacrifice fly for the eventual winning run in the fourth inning to give the Tigers a 4-0 lead to the delight of Auburn partisans in the crowd of 3,401.
