Judd Ward is SportsCall’s Player of the Week. Ward opened the season with a bang, as in the second game against Illinois-Chicago, he hit for the cycle, the first cycle by an Auburn player since Clete Thomas in 2005. To go along with that impressive feat, Ward had two more doubles in the series, and scored six total runs in Auburn’s four game sweep over Illinois-Chicago.

It’s a new decade in Major League Baseball, and the objective remains the same for all 30 teams: win a World Series and hoist that coveted trophy in October. While many teams have made key improvements to their rosters, others have decided to stay put and ke

Kumar Rocker is SportsCall’s Player of the Week. The Vanderbilt right hander, son of former Auburn Tiger Tracy Rocker, took the ball for the Commodores in a must-win Game 2 in Vanderbilt’s Super Regional against Duke.
