Alabama’s Georgie Salem extended his hit streak to 10 games Wednesday night but the Crimson Tide was unable to mount a rally against the South Alabama Jaguars after a disastrous fourth-inning led to a 8-2 loss.
Alabama (23-15, 8-7 SEC) was hoping to make a statement against the 21st-ranked Jaguars (28-10, 16-2 Sun Belt) heading into this weekend’s series against Texas A&M but lost the second of two midweek games after knocking off Troy on Tuesday evening.
“Their (South Alabama) a good team, they played extremely well,” Alabama coach Mitch Gaspard said. “Solid team, solid offense, got really good pitching and made some really nice defensive plays.
