The Tigers drop a third consecutive contest in Auburn, unable to get over the hump against the ninth-ranked squad.

The last time Auburn baseball swept LSU, current head coach Butch Thompson was a senior at Amory High School and Frank Thomas was Auburn’s first basemen. That 37-year drought ended Sunday afternoon, as Auburn took Game 3 from the visiting Tigers 3-2, completing the sweep and improving to 26-10 overall on the season.

Chase Shores got the start on the mound and Auburn got to him early. Auburn scored two runs on a two-RBI double in the first inning and one more run in the bottom of the second inning on a fielder's choice to take a 3-0 lead after two innings.
