The Auburn softball season has been a roller-coaster of sorts under first year head coach Mickey Dean. After a record-setting start of the season that saw Auburn win its first 15 games, the Tigers jumped out to a 28-3 record before starting conference play.
Auburn began the real season in Baton Rouge against LSU. The two Tiger teams began the series with a 14 inning thriller. Auburn’s bats were unable to get anything going for eight straight innings and the walk-off run by LSU in the 14th was just too much for the Tiger defense to handle.
