TUSCALOOSA - The big contrast between starting pitchers Friday night brought a little chuckle from Alabama coach Mitch Gaspard after the opener of a three-game series against Kentucky.
"You've got one guy 6-8 who's probably going to get $2 million in the draft, and our guy's 5-foot-5, and it's like I told the team. I wouldn't trade that 5-5 guy for anybody out there," Gaspard said.
The big guy came up short.
The little guy - senior right-hander Nathan "Peanut" Kilcrease - got the big result, pitching a complete-game shutout as the Crimson Tide (16-7, 3-1 in the Southeastern Conference) won 4-0.
"I had a little fire in me tonight," Kilcrease said.
