Auburn came back to defeat Alabama 13-8 in fall exhibition action in Plainsman Park on Friday night. Auburn Daily's own Trey Lee was there to document the action as the Tigers got big contributions from veteran OF Bobby Pierce (3 RBIs) and newcomers OF Justin Kirby (solo HR) and C Ike Irish (4 RBIs, 3-run home run), propelling the Tigers to a 2-0 fall exhibition record.

We also got our first good looks at several new pitchers, as Tanner Bauman (transfer from St. John's River State) and Drew Nelson (freshman from Troy and Gatorade's Player of the Year for Alabama) took the mound among the ten pitchers who covered the twelve innings for Auburn.
