Auburn has a runner on second with one out, but a tremendous defensive play by Casey Borba prevented an extra-base hit by Terrell.

Casey Borba is playing some really good baseball this season

Spencer is trying to work around walking the leadoff man and hitting a batter. He just got Bristol Carter to pop up a bunt with Schuessler retiring him in foul territory. Two on, two down for Auburn in the second.

Spencer needed 18 pitches to get through the second, but he got Chase Fralick to ground out to first to end the Auburn threat.

Those were two questionable calls by the umpire. The crowd let him know what they thought about it
