Auburn battled No. 4 Ole Miss to the bitter end but ultimately dropped the series opener at Swayze Field, 1-0, Friday night.
After starting pitchers Cody Greenhill and Gunnar Hoglund dueled for the first seven innings, a pinch-hit homer run in the bottom of the eighth was the difference for the Rebels.
“This is what I remember from a SEC Friday night,” head coach Butch Thompson said. “It’s a heartbreak because you want to get your share, but if our team will play this way for this SEC run and be consistent, there’s so many things we did well today.”
Greenhill turned in a career best 7.0 scoreless innings but did not factor into the decision. The senior right-hander allowed just four hits with one walk and four strikeouts.
