Missouri baseball began SEC play by losing all three games in a series against No. 6 Auburn, finishing it with a double header Saturday.

Missouri lost the first game by just two runs and the second by one, but had its widest margin of defeat yet this season in Game 3, losing 9-2.

Game 1 on Friday night included a 95-minute delay after lights in the stadium went out in the top of the eighth inning. Auburn held a 2-0 lead at the time play was stopped and held that through the remainder of the game.

Missouri managed to take Game 2 to extra innings after being tied at three runs each at the end of the ninth inning. A single on Auburn's third at bat in the top of the 10th inning brought home what ended up being the game-winning run.

In the final game, a RBI from Missouri's Kaden Peer that brought Cameron Benson home in the bottom of the sixth inning tied the game at one run each entering the seventh inning.

But, in the top of the seventh, Auburn scored seven runs, including on a three-run homer in its second to last at bat of the inning.

Next, Missouri will travel west to take on Kansas at 6 p.m. Tuesday in Lawrence, Kansas. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+.
