Scheffler’s Auburn baseball squad eliminated at College World Series

Auburn University’s season has ended at the College World Series.

Lake Washington High graduate Matt Scheffler catches for the squad, which was eliminated with a 5-3 loss to Louisville on June 19 in Omaha, Nebraska.

Scheffler singled and doubled in the game, which was delayed by rain after four innings with Louisville leading, 4-1, on June 18. The game resumed on June 19.

Auburn left the bases loaded in the bottom of the eighth inning with Louisville ahead, 5-2. Auburn’s Conor Davis homered in the ninth to cut the lead to 5-3, and Louisville nailed down the victory with a strikeout with the trying run at the plate.
