🔼 A True Auburn Man. During the first week of the 2024 Auburn baseball season, head coach Butch Thompson dropped into the newly opened Hall of Fame Club to speak at a ceremony honoring 2024 Alabama Sports Hall of Fame inductee Scott Sullivan.

"One of the best men I've met since I've walked this earth," Thompson said of Sullivan, who pitched for the Tigers from 1991-93.

On Saturday in Birmingham, Sullivan joins a hall of fame that includes native Alabamians and baseball legends Hank Aaron, Willie Mays and Satchel Paige. He becomes the 10^th former Auburn baseball player to be inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame, joining Jimmy Hitchcock (1969), Billy Hitchcock (1975), Jimmy Outlaw (1990), Bo Jackson (1996), Joe Beckwith (2004), Frank Thomas (2011), Tim Hudson (2018), Q.V. Lowe (2020) and Hal Baird (2021).

Read the feature on Sullivan for more on his tight relationship with Coach Thompson, his long history with Auburn and his career as a Tiger and beyond.

🔼 Fab “Fore”! Four Auburn women’s golfers have been awarded SEC postseason honors. Megan Schofill, Casey Weidenfeld and Anna Davis have each been named second-team All-SEC. Davis was also placed on the conference's All-Freshman team, while Ashley-Sinclair Curtis was placed on the SEC Community Service Team.

Auburn will begin its run at the NCAA Championship at the Auburn Regional, which is being held at AU Club May 6-8.

🔼 Orange > Crimson. In the final weekend of the regular season, Auburn softball (25-17-1, 7-14 SEC) welcomes in-state rival No. 17 Alabama (32-14, 9-12 SEC) for a three-game series. The series begins tonight at 7 p.m. CT on ESPN2.

🎉 TRIVIA ANSWER

Answer: In 2018, the Auburn men’s golf team recorded its first-ever final-four appearance before falling 3-2 in the national semifinals to eventual champion Oklahoma State.

Under Clinard, Auburn has advanced to the NCAA Championship 10 times in its 13 previous tournament berths. Last season, the Orange & Blue fought through its own Auburn Regional to claim its spot at Grayhawk Golf Club and tie the third-best finish in program history at tenth overall.
