Bobby Pierce’s Career Ends as Trojans Eliminated from Sun Belt Tournament
5/21/2015 5:37:00 PM | Baseball
"I am so thankful for the opportunity to coach at Troy and thankful, certainly, for all of the coaches and players that have been a part of my career," Pierce said. "Troy will always have a special place in my heart and I am honored to have represented the University for 13 years."
Pierce took over the Troy program in 2003 and led the Trojans to four conference championships, four NCAA Regional appearances and on March 29, he won his 435th game at the school, passing legendary head coach Chase Riddle as the program's winningest coach.
Pierce has coached 15 All-Americans and had 28 players sign professional contracts. He also coached six consecutive national award winners, 42 all-conference selections, four Pitchers of the Year (2005, 2006, 2011, 2013), two Players of the Year (2005, 2011), one Newcomer of the Year (2007) and two Freshmen of the Year (2009 & 2014).
Following his graduation from the University of Alabama in 1982 at age 23, Pierce became the youngest head coach in Florida junior college history when he took over the program at Chipola College. In his first season, the school finished 41-15 and won the Florida state junior college championship, helping him earn Panhandle Conference and Florida Junior College Coach of the Year honors. After the 1989 season, Pierce returned to his alma mater as Alabama's top assistant.
In 1996, Pierce was named the first baseball coach in history at the University of Alabama-Huntsville. In seven seasons at the helm at UAH, Pierce led the program to 276 wins and five NCAA Division II Regional Tournament berths and a No. 1 ranking in 2001.
In the game, Troy took a 5-1 lead in the first inning courtesy of a three-run home run from Logan Hill and a two-run shot by Nick Masonia. The Cajuns responded with six runs in the second and three more in the fourth.
Matt Sanders finished the game 3-for-4 while Hill collected two hits for his 23rd multi-hit game of the season.
Troy finished the season 30-25.
