To outsiders, it may not seem like a big deal when two in-state college baseball teams play a nonconference game, but it’s always a big deal when Auburn and Alabama meet in any competition. Tonight at 7 CT the Tigers faces the Tide in the eighth annual Capital City Classic.
Often dubbed the Iron Bowl of Baseball, the Classic is played on the Montgomery Class AA Minor League team’s (Biscuits) home field..
Auburn leads the series 6-1 and looks to continuing their domination of Bama. On the surface that prospect might not look so promising as Auburn (11-13) is currently in last place in the SEC West while the Tide (15-8) is in a three way tie for first.
