The Auburn softball team ended the season on a low note Sunday, dropping game three of the weekend series with a 4-2 loss to South Carolina.
The Tigers took the lead early on a sacrifice fly from Tiffany Howard that scored Mackenzie Kilpatrick in the top of the second inning.
South Carolina grabbed the lead back in the home half of the third off of a solo homerun from Ashlyn Masters that put the score at 2-1.
The Tigers tied the game in the top of the fifth on a throwing error that allowed Morgan Estell to come in and score.
Auburn wouldn't see the lead again.
South Carolina followed with two runs of their own in the bottom of the fifth, and the score wouldn't change from there.
Auburn stranded one runner in the sixth, and went three up, three down in the bottom of the seventh to end the game.
The loss was the second straight for the Tigers after Saturday's defeat ended a six-game winning streak.
Auburn finished the season 38-16-1 overall, with an 11-13 mark in conference play. They'll get the ninth seed in the SEC tournament, which will start on May 7 in Columbia, S.C.
