Auburn vs. Alabama: Preview, broadcast information for this weekend's series at Plainsman Park

The Auburn Tigers close out the regular season this weekend by hosting No. 24 Alabama for a three-game series at Plainsman Park in Auburn. If you are wondering how to watch the action live, you have come to the right place. Auburn baseball’s season has not played out the way that Butch Thompson or the team has intended but the Tigers have a chance to spoil the regular season for rival Alabama, who is in line to be a No. 2 seed in the upcoming NCAA Tournament. Auburn won its first SEC series of the season last weekend at Missouri by winning two of three games in Columbia. Thompson’s message to the team ahead of the Alabama series is to “play for next season.” “It’s just a good time to know that it’s going to be OK,” Thompson said Wednesday. “Put your head down and make it start today. I think that was kind of the theme from Missouri was ‘It starts now’. The growth and the build-back and getting back to what we expect begins now and not waiting for the offseason, not waiting for next year. It starts now.” Below is key information for this weekend’s rivalry series between Auburn and No. 17 Alabama including a broadcast guide, pitching matchups, and players to watch.
