The Missouri Tigers (22-30, 8-19) baseball team suffered a series loss to the Auburn Tigers (25-25, 5-21) 9-7 on Sunday afternoon. 

The contest was a rubber match as Missouri took Game 1, 12-11, but Auburn bounced back and dominated 12-2 on Saturday to even the series. 

Auburn was up eight runs heading into the bottom of the eighth, but Missouri fought back and plated five runs in the home half of the inning with RBI-singles by Jedier Hernandez, Kaden Peer, and Matt Garcia, plus a two-RBI single by JuJu Stevens, who advanced to third on an error by Auburn’s center fielder. Mizzou tallied on an additional run in the ninth with a solo home run by Trevor Austin, but fell short of the comeback by two runs. 

Ryan Madgic started on the mound for Missouri. The graduate went 6.0 innings and earned four runs on four hits.
