Team Notes

Auburn came back from three run deficits twice against the Razorbacks … the Tigers scored six unanswered runs to win the series opener and took a lead in the seventh inning of game two but couldn't hold on in the 15-inning, 5-hour-40-minute game … the 15-inning game was the team's longest since also playing 15 innings vs. Alabama in 2017 … it was Auburn's third extra-inning game this season, all which have gone 13 or more innings.
