Heading into the ninth inning of Sunday’s super-regional game in Gainesville, the Auburn Tigers led the Florida Gators 2-1, having scored the go-ahead run in the bottom of the eighth.
However, the Tigers quickly gave the lead back, as Austin Langworthy delivered a no-doubt home run to get the inning started.
Below, you can see the game-tying home run — a blast over the right-field fence:

The Tigers weren’t about to give up, though. A leadoff walk forced a pitching change. That was followed up by a single, bringing Luke Jarvis to the plate.
And, as you can see below, Jarvis didn’t disappoint, delivering a shot to the left-center field gap, plating the game-winning run:
