Cole Foster's three-run double in the sixth inning gave Auburn the lead, and the Tigers beat No. 2 national seed Stanford 6-2 in a College World Series elimination game.
OMAHA, Neb. - Cole Foster's three-run double in the sixth inning gave Auburn the lead, and the Tigers beat No. 2 national seed Stanford 6-2 in a College World Series elimination game for their first win in Omaha in 25 years.
Stanford concluded a short, disappointing stay in Omaha. The Cardinal lost their opener against Arkansas 17-2 - the most lopsided game here in 34 years - and then did next to nothing after taking an early lead against Auburn. Trace Bright went five innings for the win and Blake Burkhalter, the Tigers' star closer, struck out six of the eight batters he faced for his 16th save.The Tigers, who lost 5-1 to Mississippi on Saturday, had managed one run and seven hits in 14 innings before breaking out in the sixth against the Cardinal.
Stanford starter Drew Dowd, who struggled with his fastball command his last few appearances, was dialed in through the first four innings. But he gave up Brooks Carlson's double leading off the fifth and walked Foster on four pitches to bring on Quinn Mathews .
