Overview
- Texas edged No. 5 Auburn 7-6 on Saturday at Plainsman Park to level the top-five series at 1-1 after a tense ninth inning.
- Friday’s opener flipped when Bristol Carter’s ninth-inning liner skipped under center fielder Aiden Robbins’ glove, clearing the bases for a 4-3 Auburn walk-off.
- Longhorns left-hander Luke Harrison limited Auburn to two runs over 5.2 innings Saturday, backed by key hits from Maddox Monsour, Aiden Robbins and Jayden Duplantier.
- The finale is scheduled for 2 p.m. CT Sunday on SEC Network+, with Texas listing Dylan Volantis to start and Auburn previously scheduling Alex Petrovic.
- Both teams entered with elite staff ERAs (Auburn 2.26, Texas 2.67), as Texas works through recent bullpen concerns and a midweek loss to Tarleton State.
