Baseball opens SEC with series win; softball falls to Georgia

The Auburn baseball team took its opening series of SEC play from No. 12 Ole Miss with a 3-2 win in Oxford Saturday.

"The whole weekend was back-and-forth where one pitch or one play could have made the difference," said coach John Pawlowski.

Auburn continued its winning streak against South Alabama with a 7-0 victory Tuesday night and will host LSU this weekend. The Tigers look to win the two opening SEC series for the first time since 2003.

The No. 20 ranked softball team couldn't hold on to a late-game lead on the road at No. 8 Georgia, losing the game 4-2 and the series to the Bulldogs.

"This was a disappointing loss," said coach Tina Deese. "We got beat on the little things today. We can't make the type of mistakes we made today and expect to win. This is a tough loss, but we are going to have to learn from it and move forward."

Softball returns to Auburn this weekend to host the Kentucky Wildcats.
