A magical run by Auburn Baseball came to a close on Tuesday evening.
The Tigers could not keep up with Arkansas’ high-octane offense in an elimination game, and would ultimately fall to their SEC West rivals 11-1 in the College World Series. The loss would unfortunately end their season.
After being limited to just one run over the first two innings, Arkansas rattled off seven runs over the 3rd and 4th innings, then would add insurance in the 6th and 9th innings to solidify the win.
Arkansas outhit the Tigers 16-4 in the game, and half of Auburn’s hits belonged to Sonny DiChiara. He grabbed the teams’ first hit in the 4th inning and reached base in his final Auburn at-bat with a single in the 9th inning. Auburn’s lone run came in the bottom of the 7th inning on a solo home run by Bobby Peirce, that trimmed the Razorback lead to 9-1.
Auburn finishes the season with a 43-22 record.
