High stakes on the Plains as #2 Texas visits #5 Auburn for the weekend series

[david ficken]

Texas visits Auburn this weekend in a top 5 match up.

Auburn already beat #3 GT on Tuesday; while we lost to Tarleton State.

This should be a good to great pitching match ups for each game.

Both Friday and Saturday games start at 6 PM. Sunday's game starts at 2 PM.

Will be able to watch on YouTube. Radio is on Longhorn Radio network. Radio should be Keith and Roger.
