AUBURN, Ala. – Softball has arrived on the Plains as the 2021 fall exhibition schedule begins Sunday at Jane B. Moore Field as the Tigers host Wallace State – Hanceville and Enterprise State for a pair of games.
"We're looking forward to this weekend," said head coach Mickey Dean. "Our team is excited to get on the field against an opponent. We'll take some of the things we've been working on and use them in game situations."
The Tigers open their fall slate against Wallace State – Hanceville at 2:30 p.m. CT before taking on Enterprise State at 5 p.m. CT. Wallace State – Hanceville and Enterprise will play in a neutral-site contest at Jane B. Moore Field at 12 p.m. CT to kick off Sunday's triple header.
Auburn will be led on the field by a pair of seniors, Aspyn Godwin and Samantha Yarbrough, as well as Auburn's Southeastern Conference All-Freshman Team quartet that return for their sophomore campaigns: Shelby Lowe, Maddie Penta, Sydney Cox and Makayla Packer.
Lowe, who was named Second Team All-SEC as a freshman, brings a wealth of experience to the circle after her record-setting freshman campaign. Lowe led all SEC true freshmen last season and ranked fifth overall in the league with 179 strikeouts. Her 1.48 ERA was the second lowest ever recorded by a Tiger freshman pitcher.
As with all home fall games, admission is free to the public. There will be limited concessions
serving bottled beverages, assorted candy and snacks.
The fall games will not be streamed, but fans can stay updated through the Auburn softball Twitter account: @AuburnSoftball.
