The Auburn Tigers host Georgia Tech on Tuesday for a midweek game at Plainsman Park. If you are wondering how to watch the action live, you have come to the right place.
Entering the game, Auburn baseball is currently riding a six-game losing streak and hopes to find the win column Tuesday night against rival Georgia Tech. The Tigers’ last win came on April 5, a 9-5 decision over No. 3 Tennessee to open the three-game set. Since then, every loss has occurred at Plainsman Park with a run differential of -39.
Head coach Butch Thompson is still searching for answers to his team’s recent woes and will use Tuesday’s game to experiment. He will make a few changes to the lineup, which includes usual weekend starter Joseph Gonzalez getting the midweek nod.
“I’m just trying to get our guys to circle back up and make some adjustments,” Thompson said Monday. “Everybody has had ample opportunity. We’ll see if we can maybe provide some new opportunities tomorrow by taking a look at some guys against a really good Georgia Tech team.”
Georgia Tech has been on a roll lately by winning its last two ACC series. Last weekend, the Yellow Jackets won two of three games over Virginia Tech, winning the series’ final two games by a margin of 30-7.
