Title: Alabama Baseball Host Missouri
Post by: pmull on May 10, 2013, 08:14:08 AM
This is a huge series for the team. We need a series win at a minimum but a sweep would be better. We close the regular season at Vandy next week so we need to get our wins now. Our RPI is good but we need to get our SEC record to .500.

Weather will be an issue again this weekend.

Bama gets 2 runs on 4 hits in the 1st to take a 2-0 lead.

We leave the bases loaded.  >:(

Lead off hitter Kenny Roberts hit a HR. Good way to start the game.

Jon Keller comes in to pitch the 8th replacing starter Charley Sullivan.

Quality start for Sullivan not giving up any runs on 5 hits.

Man what I read here can sure scare a person. Is our pitching getting tired? It seems in our late innings we seem to score less and sometimes  our pitching goes slack. I sure like our bull pen. RTR!

The starting pitching has been very good. The late inning relief was good earlier in the year but lately they can not hold a lead. We should have won two games at Miss State last week but we gave up late innings runs and got swept.

I watched this and we just did not play very well. Will we be moving on after this loss? RTR!

You are correct, we not not play very well. We had 12 hits that only produced 3 runs. He got picked off base once, throw out attempting to steal and could not get a bunt down to move runners into scoring position. we also hit into three double plays with runners in scoring position. after all that we still left 8 runners on base.

Defense was good but the pitching was not. We gave up 7 runs, all earned, on 11 hits. We also walked 4 and hit by pitch 4.

We need to play better today.

Alabama wins game three 7-6. We took a 4-1 lead in the 6th but gave up 5 runs in the 7th to fall behind 6-4. We got three runs in the 9th including a walk off  double by Austen Smith.

We did not play well all weekend but somehow still win the series 2-1.

We improve our record to 31-22, 13-13 SEC.

No mid week games this week. We go to Vandy for a Thurs-Fri-Sat three game series.
