HOOVER, Ala. — The Auburn bullpen danced in and out of trouble for several excruciating innings Thursday against South Carolina, eventually pulling out a win.

The group was not as fortunate Friday against Ole Miss.

Taylor Hashman launched a 10th-inning Bradley Hendrix fastball out to dead center at Regions Park for a three-run homer, lifting Ole Miss to a 10-7 win and eliminating second-seeded Auburn from the SEC tournament.

The Tigers (40-19) contributed to their own misery by tying a season-high with five errors, ending their first SEC tournament appearance since 2003 after only three games.

"Obviously we didn't play at a high championship level today," Auburn head coach John Pawlowski said. "We made some mistakes and it certainly cost us the ballgame."

The sixth-seeded Rebels (38-21) advance to play eighth-seeded LSU tomorrow at 10:30 a.m. ET. LSU has not lost in the tournament.

Auburn, the SEC West champions, will find out Sunday afternoon whether it hosts an NCAA Regional. The full NCAA tournament bracket will be released Monday.

Pawlowski thought the Tigers' 40 wins, division crown and strong RPI should be enough to host a regional.

"We've done an awful lot and certainly deserve it, but you never know what the committee is going to do," he said.

The Rebels exacted a bit of revenge after watching Auburn outscore them 34-8 in a three-game sweep last weekend in Oxford, Miss., to clinch the West.

"It's really big emotionally," Hashman said. "We wanted to play them again and show them that we can beat them."

The Tigers didn't help their own cause, with a number of mental and physical errors in the field that led to four unearned runs. Auburn hadn't had that poor of a fielding performance since the first two games of the season, when it committed five errors in back-to-back games against Southeast Missouri.

"We lost that game," first baseman Hunter Morris said. "We didn't execute and that ended up costing us."

Three errors came in a blunder-filled seventh. Left fielder Tony Caldwell dropped a fly ball, center fielder Creede Simpson threw the ball away trying to get a runner at third and second baseman Justin Hargett let a hard-hit grounder get through him with the infield playing in.

With the benefit of only two hits, Ole Miss scored three times to take a 7-4 lead.

"I think we're a better team than what we played and showed," Caldwell said.

Auburn tied things up on Morris' towering three-run homer to right in the bottom of the inning. It was the SEC Player of the Year's 21st this year.

But unlike South Carolina, which wasted several extra-inning opportunities the day before, Ole Miss grabbed the lead in extra innings. Auburn reliever Sean Ray (2-3) put the go-ahead run on base in the 10th with a walk. Hendrix came in and, two batters later, gave up the Hashman homer on a challenge fastball.

"I think we needed the win more emotionally to get back on track," said Ole Miss coach Mike Bianco, whose team lost its final five regular season SEC games.

The Tigers didn't start two of their top hitters, keeping Brian Fletcher (left hand) on the bench and using Trent Mummey (hamstring) only as a pinch hitter. The offense lagged, striking out a season-high 14 times, eight of them coming against reliever Matt Crouse.

Auburn, which finished the season as the SEC's top hitting team by a wide margin, struck out 27 times in its final two tournament games.

"We've just got to battle and be ready to bounce back next week," Morris said. "Today was obviously disappointing, but the maturity level of this team is there and we're going to bounce back."
