re: Bama Baseball 33-24 (13-17) (2023-24)

Awesome day at The Joe. Great turnout and a beautiful day. Bama splits the two scrimmages with FSU. Lots of work still to do but also lots of potential with this team.

Crimson Tide Battles with Florida State in Baseball's Final Exhibition of Fall

The Crimson Tide and Seminoles met for a pair of six-inning affairs on Saturday

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama baseball paired with Florida State for a competitive exhibition on Saturday at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.

Ben Hess got the start in game one while Riley Quick took the mound for the start after the midpoint break. The Tide's arms accumulated 16 strikeouts while allowing four earned runs across 12.0 innings of work. Aidan Moza highlighted the pitching effort, striking out two in his frame of work to close out the first half of the day.

The offense was powered once again by the long ball. Evan Sleight and Camden Hayslip each hammered solo shots while Bryce Eblin recorded a three-run homer deep into the Right Field Terrace. Eblin led the Tide in RBI while Sleight paced UA in runs with two.

Alabama will break on Sunday and then return to the diamond for a final stretch of work. The Crimson Tide will practice next week before taking part in a World Series to cap the fall schedule.

Head Coach Rob Vaughn
Thoughts on the day:
"These fall exhibitions showed us what we're capable of doing, especially after playing really good teams like Auburn and Florida State. It also showed us what we have got to get better at and that's the point of these. You want to play these teams that help you to see where you have got to grow, and I think this group's got a high upside, they've got a lot of confidence in what they're doing. They also have a good awareness of what we have to get better at, and that's what we'll work on between now and February."
