After sweeping Missouri last weekend, the red-hot No. 19 Auburn Tigers will have a quick turnaround on Wednesday night when they travel to Homewood to face another team who is coming off of a weekend sweep, the Samford Bulldogs.
Auburn took care of business last weekend by taking three games from Missouri, two of which were walk-off victories. A key reason for Auburn’s success was the arm of maddie penta. Penta recorded 25 strikeouts, including 17 in Saturday’s series opener. The amazing feat led Penta to grab an honor from the SEC.

Trailing 6-4 heading to the bottom of the 5th inning, Samford scored three runs over the final two innings to steal the 7-6 win from Mercer. Lindsey Nelson provided the game-winning run for the Bulldogs with a solo home run in the 6th inning.
