AUBURN, Ala. - Junior first baseman Niko Buentello had three hits and two RBI, but Auburn baseball fell in dramatic fashion to Oral Roberts 8-7 on Friday at Plainsman Park.
“We played good until the end and I tip my hat to that,” Auburn head coach Butch Thompson said. “We competed well and had better at bats. The guys hung in there the whole game and we had a chance there at the end with a runner at second, but we couldn’t push him across. I am excited to see (Casey) Mize back out there on the mound tomorrow.
