TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Sophomore right-hander Jake Walters struck out a career-high 13 batters to help lead Alabama baseball past North Dakota, 5-2, on Saturday afternoon at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. The Crimson Tide secured its second series win of the season with the victory and improved to 5-1 overall.
"I thought (Jake Walters) was really sharp all game long," said Alabama head coach Mitch Gaspard of his starter. "In the third inning, I thought he really showed some maturity. He had a lot of stuff going on around him and it was really no doing of his, but he stayed with it and kept making pitches.
