No. 5 Auburn baseball secured its first series in Starkville since 2017, and its sixth consecutive Southeastern Conference series win for the first time in a single season since 1995, with a 2-1 series win over No. 10 Mississippi State this weekend.
Looking to avenge itself from a lackluster conference showing in the regular season, 12th-seeded Auburn aims for get-back at No. 13 Mississippi State in the first round of the SEC Tournament at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Wednesday.
After clawing back from an 18-point deficit, Auburn briefly held a lead, but the Tigers couldn’t finish as they dropped their fifth straight game to Mississippi State at Humphrey Coliseum on Wednesday night 91-85.
Auburn will aim to halt a four-game losing streak Wednesday night when it travels to Starkville for another pivotal matchup against Mississippi State.
