Auburn Softball Announces Fall Schedule

Sept. 7, 2016

AUBURN, Ala. - Head coach Clint Myers and his staff has released the Auburn softball fall schedule on Wednesday, featuring five home dates with games to be played at Jane B. Moore Field.

The annual slate pits Auburn against five opponents from the community college ranks and one opposition from Division II.

The Tigers kick off the schedule with the alumni game, Oct. 2, to wrap up Alumni Weekend at Auburn University. The day starts with a brief warm-up period to be followed by a slow pitch softball game at 11 a.m. Alumni will then have the chance to square off with current members of the 2016 softball team at 1 p.m.

Auburn returns to the field two weeks later when it hosts a three-team tournament on Oct. 15. The Tigers play host to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College and Wallace State Community College-Dothan in a doubleheader at 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m., respectively. The two visitors will face off against each other preceding the doubleheader at 12 p.m.

On Oct. 16, Auburn will tackle Daytona State Community College in two games, with first pitch set for 12 p.m.

The Tigers then take on Wallace State Community College-Hanceville in a doubleheader on Oct. 21, with play set to begin at 4 p.m.

The following weekend, the Tigers wrap up the fall schedule with a tournament involving three teams, Oct. 29. Auburn faces Northwest Florida State Community College and Columbus State in succession, beginning at 2:30 p.m. Both of those teams will play each other before taking on Auburn later that afternoon.

The Tigers ride into the 2016 fall season on the heels of their most successful season in program history - a berth in the Women's College World Series Championship Series and an array of program records.

Admission is free to all fall Auburn softball games.
