AUBURN, Ala. – With only one Southeastern Conference series remaining after this weekend, No. 19/19 Auburn (34-13, 9-9) look for momentum as the Tigers host No. 7/10 Florida (37-12, 9-9) for a three-game series starting Friday, April 26 at 6 p.m.
Auburn took the last game against Florida played at Jane B. Moore Field when the Tigers won, 5-4, on March 14, 2016. Auburn followed that performance up with a 2-1 victory over the Gators nearly two months later in the 2016 SEC Tournament. However, Florida holds a 15-12 all-time advantage in games played in Auburn.
Friday's night game can be seen on SEC Network +, while Saturday's will be broadcasted on ESPN2. Sunday's series finale is set to be on ESPN. In addition, all games can be heard on the Auburn Sports Network.
"I think you have to attack (Florida's lineup), but you have to pitch smart," said Auburn head coach Mickey Dean. "We know that and our pitchers know that. We've seen what they're capable of. You have two teams coming off being swept, so it's going to be a dogfight."
