Josh Bell off to quick start at Auburn

HiwasseeVolHiwasseeVolAdmin
It was nice to see Josh get a good start to the 2004 season at Auburn coming back from his injury last season.

#12 Auburn sweeps Western Carolina this past weekend and Josh Bell hit his second home run in as many days with a two-run shot to left-center field in the sixth inning in the 6-0 win and Josh hit a three-run home run in the 4-1 victory.

Josh is batting .364 with 6 RBI, 2 HR and a .909 SLG% after 3 games. Josh caught the second and third games and for good measure he was the DH/P in the first game and even pitched one scoreless inning in the first game as he faced 3 batters, striking out 1 and getting two ground outs.



Luke,
Did you have any ice cream at this early season series?

Fungo,

I was unable to stay for Sundays game. I enjoyed meeting you. Brian was the pitcher Josh hit his second dinger off of. Brian said he intended to run a fast ball way-inside on Josh. Obviously it caught too much of the plate. Brian was able to keep it all in perspective though....he said at least Josh didn't hit it right back at him (haha). I'm sure Auburn will have a fine season. They have a fine club. Western will recover. Coach Raleigh was not real happy with being swept. Look for WCU to make the adjustment. They were 0-5 out of the gates last year, and made the regional finals against NC State with a 43-21 record. Coach Raleigh will get those hitters to mashing soon. Again...great to meet you.

I was at Auburn yesterday and spoke to the coaches. They definitely have a problem with Josh Bell and don't know whether to put him behind the plate, at the plate or in front of the plate. I have seen him hoover "over" a plate and it is just as scary as the other three..

He is striking fear in his competitors "anytime" he is around a plate.. Wink

Da' boy can hit, catch and throw...what to do, what to do...what a terrible problem for the coaches..that would be OTHER coaches and not at Auburn.. biglaugh

Josh had another HR today!

Auburn 4, Virginia Commonwealth 3

AUBURN -- Josh Bell and Chuck Jeroloman hit solo home runs in the seventh inning to lift ninth-ranked Auburn to a 4-3 come-from-behind victory over No. 23 Virginia Commonwealth at Plainsman Park Sunday for the series sweep. The Tigers won their ninth game in a row to improve to 13-1. VCU dropped to 9-5 on the year.

Bell evened the score at three with one out in the seventh inning off Rams' reliever Harold Mozingo. Bell sent Mozingo's 1-1 offering over the fence in right-center field for his fifth homer of the season. After Sean Gamble grounded out for the second out of the inning, Jeroloman hit his second home run of the year, with a blast off Mozingo that sailed over the Green Monster in left field for the game-winner.

Bell led the Tigers' offense, going 2-for-4 with two RBI. Derek Sain added a pair of hits, while Clete Thomas singled and walked three times. Scott Sizemore led VCU with two hits. clap

No. 7 Auburn Falls to No. 25 Clemson, 14-9 Eek

March 12, 2004 - The only postive to the 7th ranked Auburn tigers was Josh Bell hit a two run HR.


The Tigers 10-game winning streak came to a halt, but the Vols now have a 10-game winning streak!
