Auburn’s College World Series hopes were lost in the early-evening Omaha sun.
The Tigers’ season came unraveled in the third inning of Tuesday night’s elimination game against Arkansas, when the Razorbacks created some separation with three runs en route to sending Auburn packing with an 11-1 loss at Charles Schwab Field.
Things started to go sideways for Auburn in that third inning after left fielder Mike Bello lost track of a potentially routine fly ball with one out in the top of the frame. Arkansas’ Peyton Stovall knocked a ball to left field, and with the sun making things difficult at that time of the day, Bello struggled to locate the ball, which bounced a few feet in front of him for a single.
It was only the beginning of the Tigers’ problems, though, as a pitching staff that was lights out through the first two games in Omaha finally showed some cracks. The Razorbacks’ righty didn’t allow a hit until there were two outs in the fourth inning, with Sonny DiChiara singling to left field for the Tigers’ first base knock of the day. Auburn didn’t score a run off Will McEntire until the seventh. That’s when Bobby Peirce led off the inning with a solo home run to left field, his 10th of the season.
