Auburn tagged to advance

AUBURN - It seems routine, but in high school softball, the play goes awry so many times. The ball gets bobbled, the throw is off, the catch isn't made or the tag isn't in time. In a big game, the possibilities for error are everywhere.

Not this time.

In a contest where the hits were hard to come by and runs were even more rare, Auburn held a one run lead over Nottingham in the sixth inning of the first round, Section III, Class AA playoff game.
