Auburn vs. Missouri: How to watch the final series of the regular season

The Auburn Tigers (30-19-1, 14-13 SEC) are welcoming the Missouri Tigers (30-20, 10-17) to the Plains for the final series of the regular season and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.

The Tigers are one of the hottest teams in the country after winning four straight series and now have a chance at hosting an NCAA Regional after they picked up series wins over No. 4 LSU and No. 9 South Carolina.

Missouri is coming to Plainsman Park with some momentum of their own though, they have won back-to-back SEC series after beating Ole Miss and sweeping Georgia last weekend.

“Prepare the best you can and get ready to fight for another series,” head coach Butch Thompson said ahead of the final series of the regular season. “I think we’re trying to get to the same mindset to compete again, and then we’ll look up Sunday to see what’s next for us.”
