The first three innings of Saturday morning’s SEC Tournament elimination game between Florida and Alabama saw the two offenses take turns bashing the ball all around Hoover Metropolitan Stadium.
UF jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the top of the first, only for Alabama to tie the game up with four runs of their own in the bottom half. The Gators scored in each of the next two innings, but the Crimson Tide tied the game with a long home run in the bottom of the third.
Then, Gators third-year freshman reliever Nick Ficarrotta took over on the mound, and Alabama didn’t score again.
