Auburn softball (24-3, 1-2) will bring its No. 3 ranking into Starkville, Miss. on Friday at 6 p.m. CT and hopes to also carry in the momentum it gained from knocking off top-ranked and previously unbeaten Florida to start the week.
While Auburn was demolishing Samford to a tune of 18-1 Wednesday evening, the Mississippi State Bulldogs (18-6) were licking their wounds from a current 3-game losing streak, no doubt ready to right the ship as they open their conference slate with a series against last season’s SEC Tournament champions.
Stat talk: The Tigers and Bulldogs appear evenly matched in one regard .
