Bama beat Ball State 7-1 on Friday night. I cannot believe they got the game in with all the rain we have had. Bama improves to 4-1 on the young season. Sam Finnerty pitched 7 scoreless innings to get his 2nd win of the season.
Game Two of the series is at Noon Saturday and can be seen on SECN+.
Alabama got out front early with a three-run first. Senior Joe Breaux led things off with a walk and was followed by Brett Auerbach, with the junior reaching on an infield single. Two outs later, Holcombe sent a single to center to score Breaux for the game's first run. A walk then loaded the bases for Drew Williamson. The freshman capitalized, roping a single through the hole on the right side to bring in two and make it a 3-0 affair after one full.
The Tide added to its lead in the bottom of the fifth with another three runs to set the score at 6-0.
