After upsetting Alabama on Saturday the softball team lost to the fourth-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide Sunday, March 24, 13-1 giving the series victory to the Tide.
Alabama busted the game open in the bottom half of the third, scoring 11 runs after the first five batters all reached base before an out was recorded.
"The game really spiraled away from us in that third inning," Auburn head coach Tina Deese said. "Lexi (Davis) lost command a little and they got their bats going."
The loss drops Auburn to a 21-13 overall record and 2-7 in the SEC.
"There's not a lot positive to take from this one," Deese said. "We're going to have to learn from this experience and use it to get ready for next week. We have a hungry Troy team coming in and then we go to Mississippi State and we're going to have to be ready for both."
Auburn will return to action on Wednesday at 6 p.m. when the Troy Trojans travel to Jane B. Moore Field.
