With the scored tied 1-1 after Mitchell's single, he moved up a base on a single by Blagen Pado and scored from second on a throwing error by the first baseman on a ball hit by Ty Dooley. A walk by Ty Barrango loaded the bases and Coastal's third run scored when Wells Sykes was hit by a pitch. Mitchell drove in the final run with a single in the eighth inning. Cade Fisher (1-3) was on the mound in the sloppy seventh inning and allowed three runs, one earned, in 2 2/3 innings.

Auburn baseball vs. Coastal Carolina: Live coverage of Auburn Super Regional game two Auburn baseball suffered a tough loss on Friday night/early Saturday morning to the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, 7-6 in 10 innings, to fall behind 1-0 in the Auburn Super Regional. The Tigers trailed 6-1 in the 4th inning before chipping away in the 5th and 6th inning, and ultimately tying the game at 6-6 with an Eric Snow solo home run in the 7th inning to force extra innings. Caden Bodine hit a solo home run in the 10th inning to seal the win for the Chanticleers. He, along with teammate Blagen Pado, homered twice in the game for Coastal Carolina. Friday's game, which got underway at 8:06 p.m. CT, was delayed in the middle of the game by one hour and 46 minutes and ended in the early morning hours of Saturday. Auburn head coach Butch Thompson hopes that his team can find confidence despite the quick turnaround. 'We have confidence and resilience,' Thompson said postgame. 'We have to put our head down, get some sleep and get back out here. Quick turnaround, get back out here and do everything we can to try to win a baseball game and extend the season.' Check back throughout the game for the latest updates, highlights, and trends from game two of the Auburn Super Regional between Auburn and Coastal Carolina from Plainsman Park in Auburn, Alabama. One game to keep an eye on as you wait for first pitch between Auburn and Coastal Carolina is Saturday's game between North Carolina and Arizona. The Tar Heels are up 1-0 in the series and currently lead the Wildcats, 8-6 in the bottom of the 7th in game two. The winner of the Chapel Hill Super Regional will face the winner of the Auburn Super Regional in the opening round of the College World Series next week. Here's a look at how the Tigers will lineup on Saturday, with stats from Friday night's game included.

He will rival Coastal Carolina right-hander Jacob Morrison, who is second on the team in strikeouts with 89 entering Saturday's game. Last night's game was delayed for nearly two hours due to thunder and heavy rain in the area. Will weather play a factor in game two? According to Accuweather, there is a 40% chance of rain during the 2 and 3 p.m. CT hours, with the greatest risk coming during the 4 p.m. CT hour at 51%. Counties north of Lee County are under Severe Thunderstorm Watches currently, so the weather will be worth monitoring.
