Pretty good playing by Bama. 
But A&M has left 7 on base.  We need to shut them down from here on.

Spencer Turnbull has another very good start and got the win.

Bama is 21-0 when scoring 3 runs or more. We are 21-8 7-3 on the year. Alabama has won 6 games in a row and 17 of the last 20.

They will play a double header today with game one at 2:05. I assume they are playing two today to avoid a rain out on Sunday.

Turnbull had his fastball revved up, but apparently it wasn't jumping around much.  A&M got some hits and left a bunch on base.  He had 3 strikeouts and 2 bb.

He's our star, and will have even better games.  Fastballs sometimes jump around, sometimes just run straight at the plate.  Last night they were easier to hit than usual, but still, few hitters can catch up to a 96-97 mph fastball!   :worship: :worship:

I thought Turnbull pitched great. He only gave up 5 hits and walked 2 in 7 innings. There were 2 errors. Both teams left 8 on base. He kept A&M from getting the timely hits and that is important. He is not an over powering pitcher. He only averages 4 strikeouts per game and he had 3 last night.

Alabama leads A&M 3-1 with Bama batting in the 3rd. Justin Kamplain pitching for Bama.

Bama does not score in the 4th. Bama still leads 4-1 with A&M coming to bat in B4.

A&M gets two runs in B4 to cut into the Bama lead. Bama coming to bat in T5 leading 4-3.

A&M got the lead off batter on by an infield error and walked the second batter. In other words we just gave them two runs.  >:(

Wade Wass hits a 3 run bomb to extend the lead to 7-3. Bama still batting in T5 with no outs.

Bama radio guy Chris Stewart said the Wass HR was way out of the park. He said the outfielder took two steps and stopped to admire the HR.

A&M sends 10 men to the plate and score four runs to take a 11-7 lead. Bama pitching is falling apart today. 10 runs in the last three innings.

Bama coming to bat in T7 to try and get the momentum back.

Bama wins the series on the road which is hard to do. We are 22-9 overall and 8-4 SEC. We play UAB in T-Town on Tuesday and host the barn next weekend.

Taking 2 of 3 from A&M at their house is good stuff. Thanks pmull!

Had it not been for the implosion in the first game today it would have been back to back sweeps. That would have been huge for the team, but it's good to take 2 of 3 as well. #+

It very much surprised me how the pitching completely blew up in the first game. I'm glad they kept their composure in the 2nd game and came out with the win.

We blew a 7-3 lead & the pitching collapsed. A&M is not a good team. We need to pour it on UAB & the Barn.

Hopefully they can use that game as a learning tool, they couldn't have played any worse.

It happens sometimes. Before you blame the pitching too much the whole thing got started with 2 errors. Once A&M got the momentum they did not let up.

We had our chance to fold in game two. Instead we broke a 9th inning tie with two runs in the top half and Burrows got three easy outs in the bottom half. I am not sure how many but we have won a lot of games with our last at bat.

Taking 2 of 3 against any SEC team on the road is a big boost. A lot of teams do like the barn and go to Ole Miss and get swept.
