It’s time for the Tigers to bounce back.
On the heels of a series loss to close the regular season, the Auburn baseball team enters the SEC Tournament in a do-or-die situation, playing a single-elimination game Tuesday as the tournament kicks off at the Hoover Met — and, as fate would have it, the game is against Kentucky, the very team that beat Auburn over the weekend and sent the Tigers backpedaling into the postseason.Auburn and Kentucky play in Tuesday’s nightcap at the Hoover Met, scheduled for first pitch around 8 p.m.

The Tigers won 16 SEC games, matching the most the program has won in a single season in the last 12 years. It isn’t by ace pitching or exceptionally big bats that Auburn muscled to those wins: The Tiges aren’t outstanding in any category when looking over the league stats, and instead they seem to have a knack for the fight, having won 10 SEC games by two runs or less.
The Tigers are still in position to host an NCAA Regional and possibly a Super Regional with some strong play this week. Auburn is entering as the No. 5 seed and Kentucky is the No. 12 seed. The Tigers could’ve clinched a top-four spot with a win over Kentucky in the regular-season finale for both teams, but instead the Wildcats won 6-3 at home, helping their own chances of getting into the conference tournament. Auburn dropped the series opener 5-1 then won the second game 6-3 on Friday.
