Title: Bama baseball playing Houston this weekend: 1-3; 9-14 ...
Post by: 2Stater on February 21, 2015, 05:47:15 AM
I had no idea Houston is ranked 3rd. A 3 run homer did us in.

Tough road loss.  But Bama needs to bounce back today.

We out hit them 8-4. We left 9 runners on base to their 6. They got the big hit for a three run homer and that was the difference in the game. Both teams played well. Tough loss on the road to a very good team. We need to bounce back tonight. Game 2 starts at 6:30 with Will Carter on the mound for the Tide.

This series is going to be a real good test for Bama. Hopefully, they take the game tonight.

Bama has tied it up in the 5th and still batting with no outs.

Bama still had runners on 2nd and 3rd with nobody out and tied 4-4. Avant lined out to second and Salem hit into a DP to end the inning.  >:(

Houston scores one in the bottom of the 5th, but Casey Hughston leads off with a homer for Bama to tie it up in the top of the 6th. 5-5.

Bama scores 4 in the top of the 7th to take a 9-5 lead. This is an error filled game. Houston has 4 errors, Bama 2.

I was keeping up with the gamecast. Our pitching was dismal, along with the defense. Walks and hit batters killed us.

Bama wins Game Three 8-3.

Starting pitcher Bramblett got the win. Castillo got the save.

Alabama had 14 hits.

I'm glad we at least salvaged the last game. The experience against the #3 ranked team over the weekend can't hurt.

Our RPI jumped from mid-60's after last nights game to 29 after today's win. It would have been nice to win two games but we had to have one and we got it. That was a quality road series that will help us prepare for the rugged SEC schedule. We went head to head with the #3 team at their place and held our own. According to the RPI going 1-2 in a series like this helps more than than sweeping a 100+ RPI cupcake.

After coming back from a 4-0 deficit to take the 9-5 lead in the 7th last night, I really thought we had grabbed all the momentum, but they let it all get away in the bottom half of the inning. But it is what it is and I hope they learned something from it. You're right in that it should be good experience to take into SEC play.

Alabama has 5 games scheduled for this week. A double header Tuesday against Savannah State and a weekend series against Louisiana Lafayette. All five are home games at the Hoover Met.

LA-Lafayette is a strong program. They took 2 of 3 from us last year at their place. The made it to within one game of the CWS last year losing  2 of 3 to Ole Miss in the Oxford Super Regions. In 2013 they lost to LSU in the finals of the Baton Rouge Regional.

They are indeed a strong program. My youngest daughter and her husband live in Lafayette. We visit them 2 or 3 times a year and we regularly drive by the ULL campus. Very impressive. The locals talk a lot about the baseball team.

Five doubles a home run and 14 total hits helped push the Alabama baseball team past the Houston Cougars, 8-3, on Sunday afternoon inside Cougar Stadium. With the win, Alabama improves to 4-2 this season and has now recorded 2,500 wins in the program’s history.

“We were able to put some offense together, particularly in the middle of the game, and we extended the lead late, so it was a good win for us,” said Alabama head coach Mitch Gaspard. “Early in the season you’re trying to get at-bats against quality arms, and Houston has a tremendous pitching staff. I believe our team will grow from working against the type of pitchers we saw this weekend, and we can use the experience we gained in this series to help us as we move forward.”

The Crimson Tide had four players record multi-hit games on the way to the victory, including Mikey White (2), Casey Hughston (2), Kyle Overstreet (3) and J.C. Wilhite (3). The Alabama offense was led by Wilhite’s career-high three hits, which included a home run – the first of his career. White added two doubles and finished the day 2-for-4 with a team-high three runs scored.

Casey Hughston had another good weekend. He is batting .720 (18/25) with 11 runs scored, 11 RBI, 6 doubles, 1 triple and 1 HR. That is in 6 games. He has also walked once and HBP twice. He is 2 for 2 stolen based and has not made an error.

It is early in the year but that is NCAA Player of the Year stats.

This young man is a player and those kind of stats brings back some great memories of Dave Magadan.  :clap:

Now, I remember Dave. He played for the Mets when they had some really good teams. He had a solid bat too. As, I think I remember he was good at defense also with a gun for an arm if I am thinking about the right one. RTR!

I remember Magadan setting an NCAA record in the college world series (1982 I think), when he got 10 hits in a row. They lost to Texas and Roger Clemens in the finals.
