Title: Baseball Earns 4-0 Win Thanks to Standout Performance from Kilcrease Post by: pmull on March 25, 2011, 10:00:57 PM TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - A complete game shutout from senior righty Nathan Kilcrease earned the Alabama baseball team (16-7, 3-1 SEC) the 4-0 win over the Kentucky Wildcats (14-9, 2-2 SEC), Friday night at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
Kilcrease (4-1) threw a gem, peppering the zone all night while going the full nine, striking out six and walking none. The complete game shutout was the first of his career and the complete game was his third during his time at the Capstone. Of his 21 non-strikeout outs, 14 were on the ground while only four were in the air. "(Kilcrease) commanded all of his pitches, and he never really let them make a run," UA head coach Mitch Gaspard said. "He worked from ahead all night and was just really locked in. When it got late, he just had that look that we've seen before that he just was not going to let them score tonight. I'm glad he's on our team, he's a good one. Josh Rosecrans continued to stay hot for the week, going 2-for-3 with three RBI and one walk. He is now 5-for-7 with two runs and seven RBI this week at The Joe. The seven RBI nearly doubled his season total of eight prior to the start of this week. http://www.rolltide.com/sports/m-basebl/recaps/032511aad.html |
