After losing to Ole Miss on Saturday, Auburn needed to win out and have one of Ole Miss or LSU lose out in SEC play to get the last spot at the SEC Tournament.

Photo by David Gray/Auburn TigersWith five SEC games still to play, Auburn baseball has been eliminated from postseason contention after it blew a five-run lead and lost to Missouri 12-11 Friday night.

But the season spiraled once SEC play began for Auburn against Vanderbilt in March. Auburn has played eight SEC series and lost all of them. It has been swept four times. Allowing six total runs in the 7th and 8th inning to Missouri — the other team on track to miss the SEC Tournament this year — and in turn blowing a five-run lead is a quite symbolic way for Auburn to see its postseason hopes end.

But as the pitching made steps forward, Auburn’s lineup tailed off due to injuries and poor performance. After a Saturday loss to Ole Miss, Auburn’s two most productive hitters — Ike Irish and Cooper McMurray — had a combined one hit in their last nearly 50 at bats against SEC teams.
