The Alabama baseball team opened play in the SEC Tournament at Hoover Metropolitan Stadium with a 6-1 win on Tuesday. With the win, the Tide moves to the double-elimination portion of the tournament.
- Win-Geoffrey Bramblett (8-3): 9 IP, 9 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 10 K
- Loss-Scott Weathersby (4-2): 6 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 3 K
What had been a problem for the Tide this season was the story of the day for today: clutch-hitting. All six runs scored for Alabama came with two outs in the frame.
