The No. 17 Auburn Tigers (35-14, 11-7 SEC) travel to Columbia for a crucial weekend series against South Carolina (32-15, 7-11 SEC) at Carolina Softball Stadium. If you are wondering how to catch the action live, you have come to the right place.
After a challenging, yet successful, two weekends, the Auburn Tigers will hit the road to face South Carolina, a team that has had an up-and-down year to this point. The Gamecocks have earned series wins over No. 14 Florida and No. 25 Texas A&M, but have also suffered sweeps to SEC bottom-dweller Mississippi State, and most recently No. 11 Georgia.
With an unpredictable series incoming, head coach [autotag]Mickey Dean[/autotag] says that it is important to get the best of the Gamecocks’ defense.
“We’re at the point of the season where we really have to focus on taking care of our bodies,” Dean said this week. “It is beneficial to not have a midweek contest. We are heading on the road again to face another conference opponent. It isn’t going to be easy. South Carolina has a really good team this year. They lead the conference in defense. They are getting great pitching right now. That’s the combination we’re looking for, and that’s the combination they are currently getting. It makes for a tough road series.”
