Second chance: Gabe Gross returns to super regional as a coach

AUBURN, Ala. – “Just be who you are.”

That’s the advice first-year assistant coach Gabe Gross gave this Auburn team prior to the Raleigh Regional, and it’s the same advice he’s been telling the players leading up to this weekend’s Super Regional in Gainesville against No. 1 Florida.

“We have been who we are,” Gross said. “It has been good enough to this point. If we play well, we can beat anybody in the country.”

Gross first heard that advice in 2008 when he was an outfielder for a Tampa Bay Rays team that posted its first winning season and played in its first postseason.
