Pierce picked up his first win of his career at Trevecca on Friday night where he was pitted in a battle with Cedarville’s former South Division Pitcher of the Week Josh Kneeland.
An impressive performance from the freshman gave him the edge in a night where both pitchers had the opposing lineup’s number.
Pierce scattered three hits across seven innings of scoreless work and piled up eight strikeouts to match picking up a 1-0 victory for the Trojans.
Pierce has been a Trojan workhorse this spring as he is third in the conference in innings pitched and also leads the league in strikeouts with 72, 12 more than the next Great Midwest pitcher.
