Tennessee Baseball Faces Weather Delay Against Auburn, Game Suspended
In a dramatic turn during the 10th inning of Tennessee baseball’s matchup against Auburn, the game faced a weather delay, ultimately leading to its suspension. The contest, currently tied at 4-4, will resume tomorrow at 1 p.m. ET, followed by game three, which will adhere to SEC rules and be limited to seven innings.
The thrilling matchup was marked by a clutch solo home run from Tennessee’s Dalton Bargo in the bottom of the ninth that tied the game. This encounter is the second for Tennessee on the day; the teams had initially resumed play Saturday morning after a partial inning on Friday night, where Auburn won decisively with a 6-1 scoreline.
In the earlier game, Auburn took an early lead, but Tennessee fought back, with Hunter Ensley’s significant swing leveling the game in the third inning. Despite Auburn regaining the lead in the fifth, the Vols displayed resilience by tying it up in the seventh. Both teams exchanged runs in a tense ninth inning.
Heading into this highly competitive series, both schools are ranked in the top 12, according to D1Baseball’s latest poll. Tennessee has slipped to the No. 12 spot following a series loss to LSU, while Auburn climbed to No. 10 after a successful series against Mississippi State.
Looking forward, after hosting the Tigers, Tennessee will welcome Indiana State Tuesday and then face Vanderbilt for a critical three-game series over the weekend. The Vols’ regular season will conclude with a home game against Belmont before heading to Arkansas from May 15-17. The SEC Tournament begins May 20, introducing a new single-elimination format as Texas and Oklahoma join the conference.
