Softball vs. Arkansas - game 1

[WarTiger 3,901]

Auburn hosting Arkansas this weekend. Auburn comes in 41-8 and 13-5 in the conference (I believe) Arkansas comes into the weekend at 15-30 and 1-17 in SEC play. Arkansas is the ONLY team in the league with an overall record UNDER .500. Golden opportunity to take care of business and keep pace in the conference race.
