Auburn found itself in a hole early against Southern Miss after giving up four runs in the first three innings and the Tigers were unable to climb out of it as they fell 7-2 to the Golden Eagles Saturday in Plainsman Park. The loss eliminated the Tigers from the NCAA Tournament.
Auburn ended the season on a four-game losing streak to fall to 34-23-1 after being one of the best teams in the second half of the regular season. Their bats went cold at the worst time, they averaged just 5.6 runs per game in their five postseason games.
With Auburn’s season coming to an end the Auburn faithful took to Twitter to reflect on the loss and the season, here are the top reactions.

At this point, John Cohen and the Auburn Athletics Department can expect to receive my medical bills.

So, two Top 16 seeds will go 0-2 in their own regionals in Oklahoma State and Auburn. AU is a little bit of a surprise to me because of how it played down the stretch. OSU's lineup is loaded, but the pitching staff has been a mixed bag all-season long.

Auburn and OK State become just the 4th and 5th 1-seeds to go 0-2 when hosting a regional in the NCAAT since 2017
