AUBURN, Ala. -- Arkansas scored three runs in the ninth inning as Auburn baseball fell to the Razorbacks 10-7 on Friday at Plainsman Park.
"Our guys did a really good job at the plate," Golloway said. "You can't fault our guys at the plate, they fought back. I thought when we got the lead in the seventh inning we'd be in good shape with our bullpen and be able to finish the thing off.
"It's just a tough loss for Friday night, no doubt."
Auburn (18-12, 3-7 SEC) strung together four straight hits with the fourth a two-RBI double down the left field line by Blake Logan that tied the score at 2-2 in the third inning. Daniel Robert, Kyler Deese and Cody Nulph added RBIs as Auburn stretched its lead to 5-2.
The Tigers had previously fallen behind 2-0 in the top of the third on two doubles by Arkansas.
Arkansas (15-14, 4-6 SEC) rallied back with four runs in the top of the sixth including a pair of solo home runs by Joe Serrano and Andrew Benintendi to take a 6-5 lead.
Nulph delivered a bases loaded single and Austin Murphy followed with a walk as the Tigers moved back in front 7-6 in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Benintendi scored the tying run for the Razorbacks in the eighth on a RBI infield single from Tyler Spoon.
Spoon finished with three hits.
Auburn right-hander Cole Lipscomb took a no decision in his second SEC start. He allowed five runs on seven hits with two strikeouts. Trey Wingenter (1-4) took the loss out of the bullpen with four runs allowed in 2.2 innings pitched.
Wingenter and Justin Camp were charged with Arkansas' three ninth-inning runs.
Blake Logan had two hits and two RBIs and Kyler Deese was 2-for-3 with an RBI. Nulph added two runs driven in.
