The Alabama Crimson Tide baseball team continued their hot play under interim coach Jason Jackson by defeating 19th ranked Auburn 7-4 on Thursday in the SEC Tournament. The win pushed the Tide forward to the next round of the tournament while the defeat sent the Tigers home. Bama improved to 40-18 on the season while Auburn fell to 34-21-1.
The 40-win season is the first for Alabama since the 2010 season, and almost assuredly locks in a spot as a Regional host in the NCAA Tournament. With 40 overall wins, 18 wins over SEC teams, and an RPI of 10, Bama has a strong resume for the committee to look at.
