The Tigers emerged from the SEC opener against LSU victorious but didn’t exactly escape without any lumps. The Yellow and Purple Tigers from Louisiana actually outscored Auburn 16–10, winning game two by run-ruling the Orange and Blue, something softball fans haven’t seen in quite some time. Auburn beat LSU 5–4 in games one and three to take the series.
The next two games against Tennessee in Columbia, TN and MTSU in Murfreesboro, TN were canceled due to inclement weather. Coach Clint Myers and his team made the most of five off days to prepare for the USF Invitational, which took place in both Clearwater and Tampa.
