Head coach Clint Myers and his staff released the Auburn softball fall schedule on Wednesday, featuring five home dates with games to be played at Jane B. Moore Field.
This year's fall camp has the Tigers facing five community college opponents and one Division II opponent.
Auburn will kick things off with the alumni game on Oct. 2, to wrap up Alumni Weekend at Auburn University. The day will begin with a brief warm-up period followed by a slow pitch softball game at 11 a.m. Alumni will then have the chance to square off with current members of the 2016 softball team at 1 p.m. CST.
Auburn returns to the field two weeks later when it hosts a three-team tournament on Oct. 15. Opponents include Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College and Wallace State Community College-Dothan in a doubleheader at 2:30 p.m. and 5 p.m., respectively. The two visitors will face off against each other before the doubleheader at 12 p.m.
On Oct. 16 Daytona State Community College is set to face off against the Tigers in two games, with first pitch set for 12 p.m.
The Tigers then take on Wallace State Community College-Hanceville in a doubleheader on Oct. 21 with a 4 p.m. start time.
Auburn will conclude their fall schedule with an all day tournament involving three teams on Oct. 29. Auburn faces Northwest Florida State Community College and Columbus State in succession, beginning at 2:30 p.m. Both of those teams will play each other before taking on Auburn later that afternoon.
