Auburn vs. LSU: How to watch Auburn’s key series against the top ranked Tigers

Auburn baseball is welcoming No.1 LSU to the Plains this weekend, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Tigers (25-18-1, 9-12 SEC) are looking to keep the momentum going after taking down No. 4 South Carolina in Columbia last weekend and a win over LSU (36-8, 15-5) would be even more important to their postseasons success.

“We get the No. 1 team in the country at home, but we need it. We need it to build a resume. We need it to see how good we are. We need it to see if we can get back in the hunt and be competitive in this great league,” head coach Butch Thompson said. “We’ll embrace it once again. What a great measuring stick for us. It’s going to be an exciting weekend of college baseball that’s right here at Plainsman Park.”
