Former Alabama baseball player Brett Auerbach hit two home runs in a Friday game between the Piratas de Campeche and the Tigres de Quintana Roo in the Mexican Baseball League. The second broke a 2-2 tie in the top of the fifth inning. His efforts were not enough. Campeche lost 8-4.

Auerbach was traded to his current team by the Olmecas de Tabasco on June 23; he signed there June 17. He'd been a member of the San Francisco Giants organization since the summer of 2020, making it as high as Triple-A before being released by the Sacramento River Cats on June 2.

At Alabama, he batted .388 during the abbreviated 2020 campaign. He was honored as a Second Team All-American by Collegiate Baseball News. Within the Giants' system, he had a knack for making highlight plays as a catcher.
