Shore would get into some trouble in the sixth inning, when he lost the command that had kept the Tigers off balance to hat point.
Austin Murphy led the inning off with a walk and advanced to third base following two groundouts. With two outs Shore plunked Kyler Deese on the forearm and Deese stole second to give Auburn two runners in scoring position.
Shore settled down and induced what would be an inning-ending fly ball but a miscommunication between Buddy Reed and Ryan Larson led the two outfielders to collide on the would be third out.
