Apparently, on Saturday it was Auburn’s turn for some comeback magic.
Tennessee led 5-4 after eight innings before Redmond Walsh gave up four runs with two outs in the bottom of the ninth of the Tigers’ 8-6 win.
Walsh surrendered up a leadoff single to kick off the final frame, and Auburn used its next two outs to move that runner, representing the game-tying run, to third base. Auburn’s Kason Howell tied up the game with a first-pitch double, and then Bobby Peirce blew open the game with his three-run blast into left field. Tennessee intentionally walked Sonny DiChiara, the SEC’s leader in batting average (.
