Florida State did not finish their Saturday game until 2:18 in the morning, but it was Alabama who was sleepwalking on Sunday. After the extreme high of Montana Fouts’s perfect game against UCLA, the Tide came out with no fire in their bellies. Even worse, coach Patrick Murphy dug back into his bag of bad pinch-hitting choices and it cost Bama the game.
FSU 2, ALABAMA 0
Both teams decided to play for the next game by starting their number two pitcher. For FSU, it worked out as Caylan Arnold (11-6) confounded the Tide batters.
