Bodda Getta Brew 6/6: Winning is Very On Brand

Head baseball coach Butch Thompson tells the team he doesn't want them to change anything as they head into tonight's Auburn Super Regional.

Good Morning, Auburn Family. On the eve of the first super regional at Plainsman Park, No. 4 Auburn coach Butch Thompson made it clear. There’s no reason to fix something that isn’t broken.

 “I don’t want us to change,” said Thompson, whose Tigers swept last week’s NCAA Auburn Regional in which they never trailed. “We have an identity. This is who we are. I would take the consistency with which we played last week and do that again. That’s what we’re trying to reach.”

With the nation’s best record (51-11) and longest winning streak (21), No. 13 Coastal Carolina presents a formidable challenge.

Asked about Auburn’s pitching plans for Friday’s game one, Thompson needed only one word to answer.

“Dutton,” he said.
