June 5–7, 2026 — Auburn, Alabama
The No. 4-seeded Auburn Tigers baseball team was eliminated from the 2026 NCAA Tournament after being swept in the Auburn Super Regional by Ole Miss. The Rebels won Game 1 on Friday, June 5, by a score of 6–4, then clinched the series on Saturday, June 7, 5–3, advancing to the Men’s College World Series in Omaha.
Auburn had dramatically won its regional the previous week by rallying from an opening loss to defeat Milwaukee 8–3 in a winner-take-all Game 7. Star player Chase Fralick hit six home runs in the regional. The Super Regional loss marks the second consecutive year Auburn has been swept while hosting (Coastal Carolina swept them in 2025). Auburn finished the tournament 5–2 overall.
Ole Miss advances to the Men’s College World Series for the first time since winning the 2022 national championship.
