AUBURN, Ala. - A pregame reunion. An in-game showdown for SEC West supremacy.

Auburn’s road trip to Mississippi State allows Butch Thompson to see his daughter, friends and former players, and his pitching staff return to full strength.

After skipping a start to rest, sophomore Casey Mize is available to pitch in the top 10 matchup.

“Very excited about Casey,” Thompson said. “He’s had a great week of work. Looks like he’s ready to go and chomping at the bit.”

No. 5 Auburn (30-13, 12-6) will start Keegan Thompson in Friday’s 6:30 p.
