How to watch Auburn baseball vs. Central Connecticut in Auburn Regional opener

How to watch Auburn baseball vs. Central Connecticut in Auburn Regional opener The No. 4 seed Auburn Tigers look to gain momentum Friday in its Auburn Regional opener against Central Connecticut. The No. 4 seed Auburn Tigers begin its run to the College World Series on Friday by facing the Central Connecticut Blue Devils on Friday in the Auburn Regional opener at Plainsman Park in Auburn, Alabama. Auburn is becoming a household name in college baseball, with the most recent evidence coming Monday when it was revealed that the Tigers would host its third regional in four years, a program record. Auburn head coach Butch Thompson says that accomplishment can be credited to supporters who have bought into his vision for success. 'It's an extremely short list of teams that have hosted three of the last four regionals, and we're honored to be a part of it,' Thompson said Monday. 'To do it for the first time in our program's history, I'm thankful to be associated with such an amazing group of players, coaches, stakeholders, fans and administration that sees the amazing value and potential in Auburn baseball. The 2025 Tigers can't wait to compete this weekend and start the postseason in the newly renovated Plainsman Park in front of our amazing fans.' Auburn grabs the No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament due mostly to its success against the nation's best competition. The Tigers held the nation's No. 1 strength of schedule and won 20 games against quad-1 and quad-2 teams. They will face Central Connecticut, the winners of the NEC Tournament, on Friday to open the Auburn Regional. The Blue Devils are one of the best hitting teams in the NEC by leading the conference in team batting average (.331), triples (24), RBI (380), and slugging percentage (.503). Central Connecticut infielder Aidan Redahan boasts the nation's highest batting average at .458 with nine home runs and 69 RBI.

Auburn named host for NCAA Tournament Regional Round

Auburn named host for NCAA Tournament Regional Round The Auburn Tigers have been tabbed as a host program for the upcoming Regional Round of the NCAA Baseball Tournament. Manager Butch Thompson's Tigers earned a host spot for the third time in four years, reclaiming the position after a brief hiatus in 2024. Auburn is one of seven SEC teams to host a regional round. The crop of conference foes, which makes up nearly half (7) of the 16 regional hosts, includes Georgia, Texas, LSU, Arkansas, Tennessee, Ole Miss, and SEC Tournament Champion Vanderbilt. After a 38-17 regular season campaign, Auburn fell in its first round SEC Tournament matchup against Texas A&M earlier this week. The opening round loss came after the Tigers were defeated twice in their final series of the season against Ole Miss, putting Ike Irish and company in an almost identical spot to their counterparts on the hardwood. Auburn basketball, like Auburn baseball, led the country in Quadrant 1 victories before dropping three of it's last four matchups before the NCAA Tournament. Like Bruce Pearl's basketball squad, Auburn baseball will look to flush a rough end to the regular season and parlay their regular season success into a deep tournament run. Auburn's opponents in the Regional Round will be announced Monday, May 26 during the 2025 D1 Baseball Selection Show at 11 AM CST on ESPN2.
