< Previous8 FEATURE game notes and on social media – both joined the Tigers’ program this season. “I always wanted to play in the SEC, always thought Auburn was a super cool school and I knew the values of these coaches,” said Rambusch, who played two seasons at Grayson College in Texas. “It was a really easy decision for me.” Growing up in Birmingham, DiChiara was well aware of Auburn. Not only is his mother, Lara, an alumna and former Diamond Doll, Sonny competed annually against the Tigers the past three seasons at Samford. “Talking to the coaches and their beliefs and morals, I felt like that fit with me,” DiChiara said. “I always wanted to play in the SEC. This was a perfect opportunity for me.” One of two sets of SEC teammates to rank in the top 10 in batting average, both overall and in SEC play, the newcomers have made an instant impact on the Plains. “It’s been a dream come true,” said Rambusch, who leads the SEC with 73 hits and is tied for the most in league play with 36. “To play in front of these big crowds, it’s everything you want to do when you come into this league.” Individual stats aside, Thunder and Lightning lead an Auburn team that’s vastly exceeded external expectations and nears the postseason with championship aspirations. “We’ve put ourselves in a really good position,” DiChiara said. “I can’t really put it into words. It’s absolutely awesome.” FOLLOW SONNY @sonnydichiara @ SonnyDichiara FOLLOW BLAKE @bram______ @ BlakeRambusch10 2022 ROSTER 2 JOSH HALL OF / 5’9” / 192 lbs RS Junior / Homewood, AL 1 BLAKE RAMBUSCH IF / 5’9” / 175 lbs RS Junior / Austin, TX 9 CADE GRANZOW RHP / 6’3” / 220 lbs Freshman / Franklin, TN 11 GARRETT FARQUHAR IF / 5’11” / 187 lbs 5th Year / Hoover, AL 6 RYAN DYAL C / 5’10” / 197 lbs RS Sophomore / Senoia, GA 8 BRYSON WARE OF / 6’2” / 193 lbs Junior / Madison, MS 7 COLE FOSTER IF / 6’1” / 190 lbs Sophomore / Plano, TX 3 BRAYTON BROWN OF / 5’9” / 180 lbs Junior / Selma, AL 5 KASON HOWELL OF / 6’0” / 185 lbs Senior / Argyle, TX 4 BRODY MOORE IF / 5’11” / 183 lbs Senior / Oneonta, AL 17 SONNY DICHIARA IF / 6’1” / 263 lbs Senior / Hoover, AL 14 BROOKS FULLER LHP / 6’3” / 210 lbs Senior / Auburn, AL 13 BEN SCHORR C / 6’0” / 185 lbs RS Freshman / Columbus, GA 16 CAM HILL LHP/IF / 6’5” / 214 lbs Sophomore / Madison, AL 18 MASON BARNETT RHP / 6’0” / 218 lbs Junior / Cartersville, GAHere n Al b m , our sports ren’t ust bout compet t on—the ’re bout commun t We come toether—powered b p ss on— to celebr te the tr umphs, sh re the he rtbre n losses, nd see n e ch other the potent l for better tomorrow Th t’s Power for Better Al b m W proudl support Auburn b s b ll Your dr ve m es us l b m power com © 2022 Al b m Power Comp n Catch the action on The SEC Network with WOW! * *Requires Medium TV.
