Tigers Dominate, Sweep Elite 8
After their 9-4 win today at John Euliano Park over the UCF Knights, the Auburn Tigers will advance to the Final 4. Auburn won the series by a 2-0 margin.

Leading the way for the Tigers was first baseman Bubba Wagner, who had a spectacular series and was named MVP.

"I don't play differently in the regular season or playoffs. I just go out and do my best every game," he said. "It's certainly nice to play in the big game, but you can't let it get to your head and change your focus."

The Auburn Tigers don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Alabama Crimson Tide - Arizona State Sun Devils series. Alabama leads the series 1 game to 0. The Final 4 schedule will be announced after the Elite 8 finishes.
