LEXINGTON, Ky. — Dexter Price (4-2) put the brakes on Auburn’s nine-game Southeastern Conference losing streak, allowing two runs on six hits in six-plus innings at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
Auburn (28-24, 9-18 SEC) bashed three two-run homer — two by left fielder Brian Fletcher, who along with Trent Mummey drove in all seven of Auburn’s runs.
The Tigers led 7-1 before Kentucky (26-24, 11-16 SEC) got back into the game with a three-run seventh, knocking Price out with a leadoff single and then getting three hits and a walk off of Bradley Hendrix, necessitating a move to closer Austin Hubbard with two outs in the inning and Auburn ahead 7-4.
Hubbard induced a groundout to end the seventh and allowed an eighth-inning solo home run to Marcus Nidiffer but was able to work around two base runners in the ninth to earn his 11th save of the season.
