< Previous8 FEATURE FOLLOW BOBBY second or third, but really never cleanup at all. That was pretty cool. I don’t know if they’re going to keep rolling with that but I’m not going to ask any questions.” After a slow start in the series, Peirce delivered at a most opportune time, hitting a tie-breaking three-run home run with two outs in the ninth inning of Auburn’s 8-6 victory on Saturday. “I was on the phone with my dad and my mom and said, ‘That was probably the best at-bat I’ve had in my life,’” he said. “Probably the biggest swing of my life for sure.” Peirce homered again in Sunday’s series finale. Heading into this weekend’s Arkansas series, he’s batting .316 with nine extra-base hits, including four homers, the result of hours spent honing his swing in the Josh Donaldson Hitting Lab in Auburn’s Player Development Center. “I love to hit,” he said. “I love being down there. I’d spend every day down there if I could. I love putting in those swings. It’s good to see it finally paying off a little bit. “We have a lot more to accomplish. It’s been a good year so far but we’re definitely not satisfied with where we’re at.” There were times over the past year when Peirce contemplated calling it a career. An eight-month recovery can do that. Conversations with his parents and coaches strengthened his resolve to endure, a decision that continues to benefit Bobby and Auburn. “Never give up,” he said. “Pushing and pushing and never giving up, and just putting in the work. That’s what I would have to say: never give up.” @ bobbypeirce410 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 Albm, our sports ren’t ust bout competton—the’re bout communt We come toether—powered b psson— to celebrte the trumphs, shre the hertbren losses, nd see n ech other the potentl for better tomorrow Tht’s Power for Better Albm W proudl support Auburn bsbll Your drve mes us lbmpowercom © 2022 Albm Power CompnCatch the action on The SEC Network with WOW! * *Requires Medium TV.
