Auburn softball hosts Missouri for a three-game series beginning on Saturday, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
The No. 21 Auburn Tigers are set to host its first SEC series of the season and will do so against a Missouri team that is looking to catch fire within the conference.
After dropping two of three to Georgia to open the SEC slate, Auburn stepped away from conference play to face two Women’s College World Series opponents from a year ago in Northwestern and Oklahoma at Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City. There, the Tigers dropped four of five games, with their lone win being against Weber State last Friday afternoon.
Auburn now returns to Jane B. Moore Field for the first time since March 5 to face what head coach Mickey Dean calls a “scrappy” Missouri squad.
“They have good kids in the circle. They have power and speed throughout their lineup. They do not beat themselves defensively,” Dean said. “It is going to be two great teams competing, and we are going to have to be at our best.”
The visiting Tigers feature three batters with seven home runs and 28 or more RBI in Kara Daly, Alex Honnold, and Julia Crenshaw. Missouri also boasts two pitchers with 50+ strikeouts in Laurin Krings and Cierra Harrison. The bats of Bri Ellis, Carlie McCondichie, and Lindsey Garcia, as well as the arm of Maddie Penta, will look to combat Missouri’s attack.
