Auburn baseball coach Sunny Golloway hasn’t mentioned the Tigers going to Omaha in a while, but maybe the coach should start bringing it up again. After Auburn got off to a rough start to the season, the Gollo-“Way” is looking stronger by the week.

The Tigers enter their series with Missouri this weekend having won 12 of its last 14 games. Those two loses came on Sunday in Auburn’s last two Southeastern Conferences series, the Tigers having already won the series.

Auburn has recently gotten national attention, sitting at No. 21 in the country, and why not?

Auburn has outstanding pitching from starters senior Dillon Ortman and freshman Keegan Thompson. Ortman holds a 5-1 record and 1.96 ERA on the season, and Thompson is 5-0 with a 0.78 ERA.

Golloway showed confidence earlier in the week that Sunday starter Michael O’Neil could also start running with the big dogs soon, which would be a big boast. In the past several years, it seems like lacking a strong, consistent Sunday starter has become a club tradition.

At the plate, Damek Tomscha is leading the way to try to get Auburn into postseason play for the first time since the Tigers hosted a regional in 2010. Tomscha has team- highs with a .378 batting average, five home runs and 19 RBIs.

Jordan Ebert and Ryan Tella are both batting .365 and Sam Gillikin is quickly coming on the scene off an injury, hitting .429 in six games.

Entering the Missouri series, the Tigers have won five consecutive conference series dating back to last season. Auburn sits tied for first in the SEC with a 4-2 record, joined by Ole Miss and Mississippi State.
