Auburn Eyes Revenge in Tuesday Night Clash
Auburn’s baseball team is set to meet Jacksonville State on Tuesday, May 12, at 6 p.m. Central Time. The contest will be available to viewers through ESPN+ and will also be carried on local radio stations WMSP‑AM and WGZZ‑FM, giving fans multiple ways to follow the action.
The matchup carries extra significance for the Tigers, who fell to the Gamecocks earlier in the season. Since that defeat, Auburn has compiled a 13‑win record in 18 outings, underscoring a turnaround that has kept their postseason hopes alive.
On the mound, Auburn will rely on right‑hander Griffin Graves, who enters the game with a 2‑0 record and a 4.66 earned run average. Graves has shown steady improvement, limiting opponents to a modest hit rate while striking out key batters in recent starts.
Jacksonville State counters with starter Ryan Geraghty, who sits at 1‑1 with a 6.37 ERA. While his numbers are less impressive than Graves’, Geraghty’s recent outings have featured tighter control, suggesting he could pose a challenge for the Tigers’ lineup.
Auburn’s overall record stands at 35‑15, with a 16‑11 mark inside the SEC. The team’s recent surge has lifted them into a strong position for the upcoming conference tournament, and a victory over Jacksonville State would further cement their momentum heading into the final stretch of the season.
