Rightfielder Justin Fradejas led off No. 18 Auburn’s series finale against Tennessee with an infield single, and center fielder Trent Mummey squared to bunt him over on a 1-0 count.

Then he pulled the bat back, swung, and lined a two-run home run to right field.

“When you go to slash and hit a home run, you know things are going good for you,” Mummey said. “That was pretty interesting.”

Things are going a little better than “good” for Mummey right now.

I’m about to hit the road to Duluth, Ga., for the Auburn women’s basketball team’s first-round, SEC Tournament matchup with Florida, but before I leave, I want to confuse the heck out of all of you.

A long discussion took over the media room after last night’s historic 89-80 upset over Mississippi State when it came to determining Auburn’s potential SEC Tournament seed. Considering that Auburn will need upsets galore to make an impact in the tournament, whatever seed it receives may seem minute. And it very well may be. But the difference between the fourth and fifth seed is huge, considering that one team, should it win its first-round game, would face Final Four favorite Kentucky, while the other would match up with an apparently very beatable Mississippi State team.
