If you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

Auburn is riding an eight-game winning streak and their 12-3 SEC record in the second half of conference play is the best of any program.

“We’ve worked hard to be playing for something,” head coach Butch Thompson said. “It’s like catching a second wind. We’re trying to sell that to our ballclub heading into arguably the best amateur tournament that exists. We had great preparation and good spirit from the ballclub. We’re excited.”
