The Auburn Tigers will look to defend their home field this weekend, beginning with the Milwaukee Panthers on Friday afternoon to open their regional in the 2026 NCAA Tournament.  Auburn is looking to get to the super regional for the second consecutive season, having the privilege of hosting games at Plainsman Park until the College World Series, if the Tigers keep winning. However, they are in good shape to open their postseason run with a win to open the weekend.  Milwaukee (25-31) used a late-season run to get into the field of 64, winning the Horizon League to earn an automatic qualifying berth. However, the Panthers are vulnerable with one of the highest pitching ERAs (6.99) in the country, and Auburn will look to take advantage.  Below is the starting lineup for Friday’s game as well as the starting pitcher for the Tigers.  Batting Lineup 1. Mason McCraine, right field, .309 2. Eric Guevara, third base, .335 3. Chase Fralick, catcher, .311 4. Chris Rembert, second base, .345 5.…
