The University of Alabama’s most successful lineup this season was no accident. The Crimson Tide offense had shown improvement in its series against Auburn that gave head coach Mitch Gaspard confidence when he jotted down the batting order for last Friday’s game against Arkansas.
The lineup hasn’t changed since then as Alabama has gone 4-0 while scoring a season-high 33 runs in that stretch. It’s likely to be the same nine batters in the same order when No. 6 South Carolina arrives for the regular season’s final series on Thursday.
“As long as we continue on the path we’re on now, it won’t change from what you’re seeing right now,” Gaspard said on Tuesday.
