Auburn left no doubt who was the class of the SEC West, winning 18-4 at Ole Miss on Friday to clinch its first outright division title since 1995.

The No. 16 Tigers (38-17, 19-10 SEC) did it like they have all year, pounding 20 hits to take down No. 17 Ole Miss.

Auburn hit five home runs, getting two from Brian Fletcher and one each from Ryan Jenkins, Kevin Patterson and Dan Gamache. Fletcher and Jenkins both had four RBIs for the Tigers, who set a school record with its 19th SEC win.

Slade Smith pitched 5 2/3 shutout innings of relief to earn the win. He struck out five.

The Tigers clinched the No. 2 seed in next week's SEC tournament in Hoover and will play either LSU or Alabama in the the first round's first game Wednesday at 10:30 a.m. ET.

Auburn and Ole Miss play their regular season finale Saturday at 5 p.m. ET.
