Alabama Baseball Bounces Back from Early Deficit for to Claim 7-3 Win over Tennessee
Falling behind 3-0 after one full frame, the Crimson Tide rallied to score seven unanswered runs for the 7-3 win over Tennessee on Friday evening in front of a sold-out crowd at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. The win was Alabama’s first SEC victory inside the new “Joe” and improves the team’s record to 14-7 overall, 3-1 in conference play.
Alabama added one more in the eighth after Georgie Salem started the inning with a single to center that he was able to move to third on when the ball bounced off the fielder’s glove for a two-base error. A Cucjen single one out later crossed Salem for the Tide’s final run.
Freshman reliever Dylan Duarte followed Bramblett on the mound, working the final 2.2 innings and allowing only one hit while striking out a pair to earn the first save of his career.
