On Thursday, Auburn defeated Missouri, 5-2, to advance to the semifinals of the SEC Tournament in Baton Rouge, La. This is the first time since 2005 Auburn softball has advanced to the semifinals. The Tigers from the Plains now wait for the winner of the Alabama-Georgia winner to know who they will play tomorrow at 2 p.m. CT.
After playing from behind after Missouri scored one run in the first, the Auburn bats were held at bay through the first two innings.
But Haley Fagan woke up the Auburn offense in a big way in the third when she took a pitch to center field for her 12th home run of the season — her second at LSU’s Tiger Park.
