Title: Baseball to Host Texas A&M in SEC Series This Weekend
Post by: pmull on April 26, 2013, 08:02:29 AM
This should be a good series. Alabama needs to get back to winning SEC games. We have lost 3 SEC series in a row to Arky, Ole Miss and LSU. We need a minimum of 2 wins but a sweep would be nice.

Quote
The Alabama Crimson Tide (25-18, 9-9 SEC) will host Texas A&M (22-20, 7-11 SEC) in a three-game Southeastern Conference series this weekend. The series begins on Friday night, with first pitch scheduled for 6:35 p.m. CST, from Sewell-Thomas Stadium. Game two is slated for 6:05 p.m. CST, on Saturday and the series finale will start at 1:05 p.m. CST, on Sunday.

Rain is in the forecast but they will get the games in if possible. On Wednesday in Hattisburg they played through rain most of the game. I don't think there will be enough heavy rain or lightning to not get all three games in. We'll see.

Bama wins Game 1 of the series 3-2.

With the Game 1 win Alabama improves to 26-18, 10-9 SEC. If anyone is still questioning if Bama has improved since last year all you have to do is look at the record. We finished last year 21-34, 9-21 SEC.

Charley Sullivan got the win last night improving his record to 4-4. Ray Castillo picks up his 7th save. Ben Moore and Brett Booth both hit home runs for the Tide.

Game 2 today was originally scheduled for 6:05 but has been moved to 2:05. I assume due to weather.

 #+ :pray:, well done by a freshman closer. Sounds like we are going to have a strong young man to end some rallies also. RTR!

Game 3 was scheduled to start at 1:05. The start has been delayed due to rain. They hope to now start at 2:00.

The weather in Tuscaloosa does not look good this afternoon. They may not get this game in.

It is raining hard and the tarp has been put on the field.

Rain delay with Bama leading 4-0. Bama is batting with 2 outs in the bottom of the first.

I hope we get this game in. It would be ashame to waste this fast start.

Game 3 has been cancelled and will not be made up.

I hate to waste the 4-0 first inning lead. This is a bad break for Bama. We were on our way to a three game sweep.

I agree, but even though it was canceled I think the players left with a good feeling of knowing they were going to sweep them. There's nothing better than a good confidence builder especially with tournament time just around the corner. Roll Tide!!
