TEAM NOTES
Auburn came back from a seven-run deficit in its 12-11, 12th inning win against Georgia Tech Tuesday … the win marked the team's largest comeback win since also coming back from a seven-run deficit vs. Florida A&M on Feb. 22, 2017 … it was the team's seventh comeback win of the season and its 29th dating back to the beginning of last season … it also marked the Tigers' second walk-off win this season, both of which have been 12-11 scores … the series at Arkansas marks the first time since Apr. 9-11, 2021 that Auburn has lost more than back-to-back games in a row.
