Auburn baseball vs. South Carolina: TV channel, live stream, radio info
Auburn baseball vs. South Carolina: TV channel, live stream, radio info The No. 8 Tigers host South Carolina for a key late-season SEC series beginning Thursday night at Plainsman Park. The final home stretch for the No. 8 Auburn Tigers begins Thursday at Plainsman Park when the South Carolina Gamecocks visit the Plains for a key late-season SEC series. Auburn enters the series with confidence after taking two games against Tennessee on the road last weekend. Auburn outscored the Vols, 17-7 in three games and boasted strong pitching from Samuel Dutton, Christian Chatterton, and Cade Fisher. The series win over Tennessee was Auburn's second in a row, and fifth overall in SEC play. All but one of Auburn's SEC series wins this season has come against ranked teams. Auburn owns tiebreakers over Kentucky (No. 24), Alabama (No. 8), LSU (No. 3), and Tennessee (No. 7). Auburn has a positive postseason outlook heading into the series, as D1Baseball projects them to take the No. 6 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and has them at No. 3 in the latest RPI update. A successful weekend at home against the Gamecocks will not boost its stock as much as a struggling weekend will hurt them. South Carolina is considered a "quad-3" team by D1Baseball's RPI standards by checking in at No. 65 ahead of this weekend's action. The Gamecocks are 26-23, and 5-19 in SEC play leading into its series at Auburn. South Carolina won its first SEC series of the season during the weekend of April 17 by taking two of three games from Ole Miss in Columbia, but has fallen in every other series to teams such as Texas A&M, Tennessee, and Oklahoma. They are coming off of a series sweep by Florida, a series that saw Florida win games by scores of 22-3 and 8-0 in run-rule fashion.

Auburn wins low scoring game against Georgia Tech
Auburn wins low scoring game against Georgia Tech Auburn pitchers allow just two hits, defeat Georgia Tech 1-0 When the Auburn Tigers defeated the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets early in April, it required nine runs for the Tigers to get the victory. Only one run was required in the Tigers' 1-0 victory on Tuesday night at Plainsman Park. It was a dominating performance from the Tigers' pitchers. The win now gives Auburn a 28-13 record and a season sweep of the Yellow Jackets. It is an important win after the Tigers struggled over the weekend versus No. 1 Texas. Auburn now has some momentum heading into their weekend series versus Mississippi State. Christian Chatterton got the start on Tuesday for the Tigers, and he did not disappoint. Chatterton pitched four scoreless innings and struck out six batters. He did not allow any hits, but did walk three batters. He opened the second inning by striking out both Alex Hernandez and Vahn Lackey swinging. He was relieved by John Armstrong in the fifth inning. Armstrong did not allow any runs, but he did give it the two hits accumulated by Georgia Tech in the game. Carson Myers entered in the seventh inning and continued the great pitching for two innings. In those innings, he threw 17 pitches, and 15 were strikes. That resulted in four of the Tigers' 15 strikeouts in the game. Cam Tilly finished the game in the ninth inning to pick up the save. The Georgia Tech pitchers were good as well. Starting pitcher Jaylen Paden struggled and was relieved early in the second inning. He gave up five walks in his short time on the mound, and four of those occurred in the second inning. He opened the inning by walking Lucas Steele, Eric Snow, and Cade Belyeu to load the bases with zero outs. He followed that up by striking out Eric Guevara and Chris Rembert. Then, Cooper McMurray was up to bat. He walked and that advanced Steele to home to give the Tigers a 1-0 lead. Auburn only had one hit versus Paden, but held the lead. Brett Barfield finished the inning for Georgia Tech, and Ike Irish was unable to get on base. Barfield would give way to Chris Ballard, who pitched a solid three innings, followed by Kayden Campbell and Connor Chicoli. Auburn only had five hits in the game. Chris Rembert was the most successful batter for the Tigers with two hits on five at-bats. Auburn will now turn its attention back to SEC play as it welcomes Mississippi State for a weekend series. Game one will be on Friday night with a start time of 6 p.m. CT and will be broadcast by SEC Network+. Game two will also be a 6 p.m. CT start on Saturday, and game three will begin at 2 p.m. CT on Sunday.
