🔼 A-Day Arrives. A-Day is finally here! Get a first look at Alex Golesh’s Tigers when the spring game kicks off at 2 p.m. CT tomorrow. Fan Fest opens at 11 a.m. CT in Plainsman Lot, Tiger Walk takes place at 11:30 a.m. CT and the Tigers will sign autographs after the scrimmage.

🔼 Fell Short. No. 6 Auburn baseball lost the series opener against No. 7 Florida, 6-3, despite a career-high outing from Abe Chancellor. The Tigers fell behind early, trailing 6-1 after five innings, and were unable to mount a comeback despite a two-run seventh inning.

🔼 Moving On. The No. 1 Auburn equestrian team defeated No. 8 Fresno State 14-4 in the NCEA Championships quarterfinals. Auburn swept both Flat and Horsemanship in the second half after a 4-4 tie in the first half. The Tigers’ strong performances in the second half secured the win. They’ll meet No. 4 South Carolina in the semifinals today at 8 a.m. CT.
