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.
