Auburn baseball couldn’t quite clinch the double bye in the Southeastern Conference tournament, but the Tigers will still skip the first round.

They did so by obtaining the No. 6 seed, clinching a first round bye, matching them up with the winner of Mississippi State and Texas A&M in the second round. That will be the last game of the day on Wednesday, with the time currently listed as TBD, but the game before is scheduled to start at 4:30 p.m.

Auburn won two out of three against Mississippi State when the two teams met at Plainsman Park in April, but the Tigers didn’t face Texas A&M during the regular season. If Auburn wins that game, it will face No. 3 seed LSU in the quarterfinals on Friday, a team Auburn swept during the regular season.

Auburn’s second round game will be televised on SEC Network and all of the tournament games will be played at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium.
