There is little doubt that most Auburn folks, softball fans or not, are now aware of this truth: A Golden Age of Softball has arrived on the Plains. And that truth was vividly demonstrated over the weekend by the Tigers’ SEC Tournament performance.
When Auburn’s Thursday evening match against Alabama was postponed, many had to be dismayed to see the prime time game changed and not just because it ruined viewing parties. Moving the game meant Auburn would be playing No. 4 Alabama at 11:00 AM and, in the event of a win, No. 1 Florida just a few hours later.
