The Auburn Tigers entered the Super Regional in Oxford trailing 1-0 after a 6-4 defeat in the opener, a game that saw them stranded with ten runners on base despite nine hits.
A Tough Loss in Game One
Ole Miss answered with two-run homers from Judd Utermark and Collin Reuter, turning a close contest into a six‑four victory that left Auburn’s offense high and dry.
Key Pitchers and Matchups
Auburn will turn to Alex Petrovic on the mound, a starter who returned from a 9‑3 win over UCF and will look to steady the rotation. Across the field, Taylor Rabe will be the Rebels’ ace, riding a streak of three consecutive quality starts that has kept Ole Miss ahead.
How to Watch and Listen
The decisive game will be televised on ESPN and streamed via Fubo, which is offering a free trial for new users. Radio listeners can follow the action through the Auburn Athletics app and the Auburn Sports Network’s live broadcast.
Projected Lineup and What’s at Stake
Auburn’s expected lineup includes Mason McCraine, Eric Guevara, and Chase Fralick, among others, but the team’s depth will be tested as they chase a win that would force a Game 3 on Sunday. A victory would keep their season alive and set up a potential comeback.
