The Auburn Tigers are back in the Super Regionals after dropping the opening game of the Auburn Regional last Friday in a massive upset to Milwaukee and having to come through the loser’s bracket.

With the way college baseball works, teams have two chances in each round of the double elimination postseason, and the Tigers were able to win every game in front of them, including avenging their defeat by beating Milwaukee twice.

The final game was tied 2-2 in the sixth inning before eventual regional MVP Chase Fralick broke the tie with a long home run — his fifth of the postseason — to vault his team to the 8-3 win.

“This was the hardest, most rewarding thing that we’ve been through for me personally,” Auburn head coach Butch Thompson said after the win on Monday night. “They found a way. Chase was just amazing, both offensively and defensively. I give the players a ton of credit. They laid it on the line for us and were tremendous.”

After being eliminated by Coastal Carolina last season at home in the Super Regional, the Tigers will have revenge on their minds with Ole Miss coming to Plainsman Park trying to punch their own ticket to Omaha.

This will be the ninth Super Regional in the history of the program, but Auburn has not been back to the College World Series since their run in 2022.

It should be a tremendous weekend of baseball on The Plains starting on Friday night as the two SEC foes try to keep their season alive in the best-of-three showdown.
