No. 13 Auburn (32-18, 14-10) travels to Baton Rouge to play no. 15 LSU (32-17, 15-9) in a top-15 matchup this weekend.
Auburn is coming off a disappointing series against Alabama (19-29, 5-19), in which the Tide earned the sweep. Alabama won both doubleheader games on Saturday, and then outlasted Auburn in Sunday’s 15-inning marathon of a game.
LSU meanwhile defeated South Carolina (29-19, 11-13); splitting the first two, before getting an extra inning win in the rubber match.
This weekend could prove to be pivotal for both LSU and Auburn.
