    The Auburn baseball team, seeded 10th,  will face a familiar foe in the first round of next week's Southeastern Conference Tournament as it is set to face seventh-seeded and in-state rival Alabama on Tuesday at the Hoover Met.

The Auburn Tigers held a two-hour practice Sunday evening at the Auburn Athletics Complex Practice Fields, preparing for Saturday's season opener versus Clemson.

"I thought we came out tonight with a lot of energy," said Auburn head coach Gene Chizik. "It was good to see the guys very excited about game week. It was high intensity in terms of offense and defense doing a lot of good work against each other. I thought tonight was a really, really good practice."

Chizik also unveiled the offensive line rotation for the opener. Tunde Fariyike will be the starting center, backed up by John Sullen there. The starting tackles will be Avery Young and Greg Robinson, backed up by Shon Coleman and Patrick Miller. The starting guards will be Sullen and Chad Slade, backed up by Alex Kozan and Christian Westerman.

The Tigers will be off Monday and return to the practice field Tuesday afternoon.
