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

Yes unfortunately

6-0 Bama B3

top 4 now.

Top 8 and AD had to come in and it is now 6-3

Whew...

Been a stressful day and I almost forgot about tonight's game.

My kids were visiting extended family all week for Spring Break and we slated to fly home today. Apparently Dallas was experiencing bad weather so their initial flight was canceled. Can't get them home for 2 additional days due to lack of flights.

Great win for Bama and a great crowd turned out to watch it. Farone pitched a gem of a game too. Started off a bit dicey with the first two batters getting base hits but he was money down the stretch.Fay came in for about 20 pitches then Davis came in a shut it down. Would be huge to win this series today.

Alabama baseball paired early offense with a solid effort on the mound to secure a 6-3 win over fifth-ranked Tennessee on Saturday evening at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. The 12th-ranked Crimson Tide is now 16-3 on the season and 1-1 in Southeastern Conference play.

Alabama jumped out front early with one run in the first, two in the second and three in the third to build a six-run advantage after three full. Tennessee chipped away with solo homers in the fourth and seventh while adding one more run in the eighth but could get no closer for the 6-3 final.

The early offense allowed Crimson Tide starter Greg Farone (3-0) to settle in on Saturday. The senior worked 5.1 innings of one-run baseball, allowing five hits and issuing one walk while striking out four for the win. Tyler Fay and Alton Davis II combined for the final 3.2 innings, limiting the Vols to only two runs while striking out three for the series-tying victory.

Alabama's offense was spread across the lineup, with all nine starters reaching base safely while seven of the nine starters contributed at least one hit. Justin Lebron highlighted the bats with a 2-for-3 night that included a team-high two RBI to go with a run scored.

From Head Coach Rob Vaughn
"It was a good night for us tonight, but it's going to be a quick turnaround tomorrow. We have to come out and get ready for a big punch from a talented and emotional group in that other dugout and (Tennessee) is going to come out swinging early. We'll have to weather the storm and swing back, and it's going to be a heck of a game tomorrow."

Snell looked like he was about to get out of a bases loaded jam before proceeding to give up 4 runs with 2 outs.

2 of the runs will be credited against Banks.

Rough.
