After falling behind 4-0 in the opening inning, Auburn responded with steady offense and timely swings to take control and secure an 8-5 win over No. 16 Florida State at Globe Life Field.

Jackson Sanders settled in after a rough first frame, striking out nine and giving the Tigers length on the mound. 

Auburn chipped away with RBI swings from Ryne Farber and Eric Guevara before a wild fifth inning flipped the game for good. 

Chase Fralick delivered a big day at the plate with three RBIs, and Bristol Carter added a solo homer and three hits as the Tigers kept pressure on the Seminoles throughout the middle innings.

Florida State mounted a late push, cutting the deficit to two in the eighth, but Auburn answered immediately and closed it out in the ninth.

College Baseball Run Rule Explained

NCAA baseball generally tries to play full nine-inning games, but a run rule is sometimes used, most often in non-conference games, showcases, tournaments, the final game of a series, and doubleheaders. 

When it’s in effect, a game can end in the seventh inning if one team leads by 10 or more runs. In seven-inning scheduled games, the run rule applies in the fifth, and it’s generally not used in regular-season conference play since conferences set their own rules.
