The NC State Baseball team travels to Auburn, Ala. for a NCAA postseason regional matchup with the UCF Knights on Friday, May 29th, at 6 p.m. ET.
This is the second straight year the Wolfpack will open in Auburn. However, this time around is significant because it's the second-ever meeting with the Knights since 1994. This will be an interesting matchup between the ACC and Big 12 schools, who have nearly similar records.
Auburn is hosting, but lost the opening-round matchup to Milwaukee earlier on Friday.
