AUBURN, Ala. -- Auburn loaded the bases without scoring in the bottom of the eighth inning.
Trent Mummey hit a two-out single, and Jared Bradford hit Brian Fletcher with a 2-2 pitch.
LSU pitching coach Terry Rooney visited the mound, and Bradford remained in the game to pitch to Hunter Morris. The first pitch was wild, allowing the runners to advance to second and third.
LSU then chose to walk Morris to load the bases, bringing Mike Bianucci to the plate. He struck out in his last previous at-bat, one inning earlier, and he did it again to end the eighth.
