Auburn baseball vs. NC State: Live coverage of the Auburn Regional final
The matchup for the Auburn Regional final is set.
The host Auburn Tigers will battle NC State for the right to claim the Auburn Regional championship and to advance to the Super Regionals next weekend. Auburn advanced to the regional championship game by beating Stetson in the winner's bracket game on Saturday night, 8-5.
The Tigers and Hatters matched each other in the hit column by logging 12 each, but Auburn's ability to stretch their hits over multiple bases led them to victory. Auburn recorded eight doubles in the win over Stetson, with seven of those resulting in Auburn runs.
NC State knocked off Stetson Sunday afternoon, 17-12, to claim the second seat in the regional final. The Hatters trailed NC State, 4-3, in the 4th inning before sending home five runs over the 5th and 6th innings to steal the lead. The Wolfpack bounced back by scoring 10 runs in the 8th inning to regain momentum. Stetson added four runs in the bottom of the 8th to trim the NC State lead to 15-12, but could not mount another comeback strong enough to seal the win as NC State added two more insurance runs in the 9th inning to secure the win.

Auburn football is trending for Jireh Edwards following weekend visit
Auburn football is trending for Jireh Edwards following weekend visit Auburn is working to build a strong pipeline with St. Frances in Baltimore, and Jireh Edwards could be the next brick. 5-star safety Jireh Edwards took an official visit to Auburn this weekend🦅 "It already feels like my second home. It feels like I've been here a long time." More from @JLeeAULive: — On3 Recruits (@On3Recruits) June 1, 2025 Five-star safety Jireh Edwards took his official visit to Auburn over the weekend. With the help of several current Tigers and one 2026 commit, Hugh Freeze's squad may have taken a giant step forward in signing the talented defensive back from Maryland. Edwards joined fellow St. Frances (Maryland) safety and 2026 Auburn pledge Wayne Henry on his official visit this weekend. Mixing Henry with current Tigers Durell Robinson, Blake Woodby, Darion Smith, and Bryce Deas, who played with Edwards at St. Frances, Auburn pieced together one strong recruiting pitch for him, and it apparently worked. "It already feels like my second home," Edwards said of Auburn in a recent interview with On3. "It feels like I've been here a long time." Edwards' positive visit is important as it increases Auburn's chances of earning his commitment, which he will announce on July 5. Ahead of last weekend, Auburn was in a six-team race with Alabama, Texas A&M, Oregon, Georgia, and Florida, and will continue to compete with those programs for his pledge until his commitment date. Edwards is the No. 3 safety from the 2026 recruiting class and ranks No. 3 in Maryland's rankings.

How Auburn baseball has fared historically in the NCAA Super Regionals
How Auburn baseball has fared historically in the NCAA Super Regionals Get ready for this week's Super Regional by re-living Auburn's previous four trips. Auburn baseball is set to compete in the NCAA Super Regionals this weekend against Coastal Carolina for a chance to make another trip to the College World Series. Auburn has competed in the NCAA Super Regionals four times before. However, this year's edition is unique as it will be the first time the Tigers have hosted the appetizer for Omaha at Plainsman Park in Auburn. Auburn earned the right to host this year's supers by clinching the No. 4 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and sweeping the competition at last weekend's Auburn Regional, outscoring the likes of Central Connecticut, Stetson, and NC State, 28-11. Auburn head coach Butch Thompson was pleased with his team's efforts over the weekend that led to a sweep and another Super Regional appearance. 'Thankful for being able to get through this tough regional,' Thompson said after Auburn's 11-1 win over NC State on Sunday. 'That was a grind for us. Never hosted a super regional before. Pretty excited about that. They fought hard, they were connected. They played a pretty solid three days for us.' Auburn's next super regional appearance will be its fifth all-time, and its fourth since the 2018 season. As you prepare to cheer on the Tigers this weekend, here is a look back at their history in the NCAA Super Regionals Auburn overcomes the West Coast obstacle in 2022 at Oregon State Auburn baseball got the full West Coast treatment in 2022. Not only did Auburn have to travel across the country to battle Oregon State, but two of the three games played in Corvallis began at 9 p.m. CT. The Tigers prevailed, however, winning the Corvallis Super Regional, 2-1, to advance to the College World Series. In the series-clinching win in game three, Auburn slugger Sonny DiChiara hit a two-run home run to put the Tigers on the board, and the combination of Mason Barnett, Carson Skipper, and Blake Burkhalter combined to strike out 14 Beavers to nail down the win. Edouard Julien leads the Tigers' bats to a Super Regional win at North Carolina in 2019 As the kids say, "I know the Tar Heels hate to see Edouard Julien coming." Auburn took two of three games from North Carolina in Chapel Hill in 2019 by combining to score 25 runs in its two victories. Julien recorded five hits and six RBI over the weekend, while Ryan Bliss, Conor Davis, and Rankin Woley had strong outings at the plate over the weekend. Auburn's Omaha dreams are bounced in Gainesville in 2018 Auburn baseball breezed through the Raleigh Regional to advance to its first Super Regional in 19 years, meeting up with SEC rival Florida in Gainesville. Florida got the best of Auburn in game one in a battle of current MLB pitchers, Brady Singer and Casey Mize. Singer struck out nine batters and allowed two runs on four hits to help Florida secure the 8-2 victory over the Tigers. Auburn responded by winning game two, 3-2, thanks to a Luke Jarvis home run in the top of the 9th inning. Game three between the Tigers and Gators was a classic that ended in a heartbreaking way for Auburn. Tied 2-2 in the 11th inning, Florida's Austin Langworthy hit a ball to deep right field. Auburn right fielder Steven Williams jumped to catch the ball, but it bounced out of his glove and landed beyond the short porch, giving the Gators the close win. The Noles bash Auburn on the way to Omaha in 1999 Auburn won 46 games during the 1999 campaign, and made its first-ever Super Regional appearance in Tallahassee. The Seminoles did not make it easy on Auburn as they swept the Tigers in two games. Florida State went on to be the national runner-ups that season, losing to rival Miami in the finals.

This absurd NiJaree Canady stat about Texas Tech's star pitcher seems fake
This absurd NiJaree Canady stat about Texas Tech's star pitcher seems fake Texas Tech ace pitcher NiJaree Canady is the owner of a ridiculous stat that is so wild it doesn't even seem real. Canady has been the best pitcher in college softball this season and during the Women's College World Series. The Stanford transfer signed a historic $1,000,000 NIL deal upon joining the Red Raiders, and the dividends from her signing have been otherworldly. Before Canady arrived, Texas Tech had never won a conference title. This season, it won the 2025 Big 12 regular-season title after beating Arizona State during a doubleheader. Think that's cool? There's more. Behind their superstar pitcher, the softball program is heading to the championship series to play for a national championship (for the first time) after taking down Oklahoma softball. Canady's 362 pitches got them there. That's right. NiJaree Canady has thrown every single pitch in the Super Regionals and Women's College World Series. That's not a typo. Moreover, if you include the times she took Stanford in 2023 and 2024, that's 671 pitches completed. Incredible stuff. We just know batters hate to see NiJaree Canady standing in the pitcher's circle.
