Kinda better, but it's missing some mascots Finally, an SEC road series against a conscious opponent! Auburn may be the best team in the SEC offensively, leading the league with 383 hits, 49 home runs, and 254 RBIs. Add to that the full return of Jr. CF Trent Mummey and AU may have more quality hitters than they know what to do with. From Track'em Tigers: It's ACE v ACE tonight as Ranaudo is presumably off of the pitch count and Auburn will be starting their best in Cole Nelson. Winning Saturday will be critical as Auburn starter Grant Dayton will be coming off a 4-game suspension on Sunday for his role in the Bean-ball series with Bama last weekend. Expect a full and rockin' house at Plainsman Park. TV Friday and Saturday only. Both TV games will also be available on ESPN360 ESPN3.com if your ISP supports it. Weather clear and breezy, highs in the 70's all weekend.
