The anticipated series opener between No. 12 Tennessee and No. 10 Auburn was suspended due to inclement weather, interrupting play after just half an inning. Initially set to start at a later time, the game faced delays, forcing officials to reschedule the matchup for Saturday. Fans were eager to see former Vols guard Zakai Zeigler throw the ceremonial first pitch, adding to the excitement of the event. A doubleheader is now planned for the weekend as both teams adjust their schedules in light of the weather conditions.
