Coming off of one of the more improbable wins of the year, the Auburn baseball team gets back on the diamond at 6 p.m. today for the first game of a six-game home stand.

Auburn will play host to Georgia State today and Mississippi Valley State on Wednesday.

Auburn (20-12, 6-6 SEC) will send redshirt freshman lefty Grant Dayton (4-1, 3.38) to the hill for his eighth start of the year today, while Georgia State (18-11, 7-7 SEC) will counter with senior right-hander Kenny Camp (2-1, 3.86).

Today is Two Dollar Tuesday and all tickets are $2, while Wednesday is Youth Night and all youth 17-and-under get in free with a cap and glove.

Following the midweek games, Auburn will play host to No. 14 South Carolina this weekend before closing out its home stand on April 16 vs. South Alabama.
