Coastal Carolina holds the best record in the country sitting at 51-11 overall. The Chanticleers are currently on a 21-game winning streak and have not lost a game in six weeks. Auburn’s pitching rotation is led by senior righthander Samuel Dutton (7-3, 3.84), who has 92 strikeouts and 19 walks in 82 innings.

The Auburn Tigers are hosting the Coastal Carolina in game one of a three-game, winner-take-all series that will send the winner to Omaha for the College World Series next week. Both teams enter the weekend on hot streaks by winning all three games played in last weekend's regional action.
