** No. 7 seed Auburn will play No. 2 seed Ole Miss in an elimination game Friday at 3 p.m. CT on SEC Network in a rematch of Wednesday's 9-3 AU win. The Rebels swept the Tigers in Oxford a couple of weeks ago. There is rain forecasted in the area so there's a chance of rain.
** The winner of this afternoon's game plays No. 11 seed Texas A&M Saturday at noon. The loser goes home.
** Florida and Arkansas are playing right now in a game that was supposed to be completed last night. The Razorbacks lead 2-0 in T5. The winner goes to the semifinals and the loser plays LSU in an elimination game tonight.
** The pitching matchup today is Auburn senior left-hander Andrew Mitchell (2-1, 3.62) vs. Ole Miss junior right-hander James McArthur (5-0, 4.47). McArthur started against Auburn May 12 allowing two runs on three hits and four walks in 1.1 innings. Ole Miss still won the game 10-3, however, thanks to a strong bullpen outing by Will Ethridge. Mitchell threw out of the bullpen in that game allowing four runs on three hits in 0.0 innings. Auburn's bullpen is in pretty good shape going into today with Cody Greenhill and Calvin Coker definitely being available.
** If Auburn wins, it will be their first trip to the semifinals since 2003. A loss and AU will wait to see if they host an NCAA Regional for the first time since 2010 or go on the road again. Going to be a close call. Auburn remains No. 12 in NCAA RPI.
