TROY, Ala. – Despite strong performances in the circle, Troy fell to No. 21 Auburn, 3-0, Wednesday night at the Troy Softball Complex.
After a pair of quiet innings to open the contest, the Tigers (16-1) scratched across a run in the top of third inning.
Makenna Dowell and Sydney Cox drew a pair of one-out walks to put runners on for Makayla Packer. Packer bunted safely, loading the bases for the Tigers. Aspyn Godwin then drew a walk to plate the first run of the contest.
After the Trojans (16-5) were retired in order, a two-run home run by Dowell gave Auburn the three-run advantage that they would hold through the rest of the contest.
