Alabama baseball drops series opener against Auburn in embarrassing fashion

Not the way Alabama needed the series to start!

In a pivotal home series against arch-rival Auburn, Brad Bohannon and the Alabama baseball dropped the series opener 8-4.

The Tigers held an 8-0 lead heading into the bottom of the ninth until the Alabama bats finally decided to wake up, but the comeback attempt was too little, too late.

With the loss, Alabama falls to 24-11 on the season and an abysmal 4-9 in SEC play.

If the Crimson Tide has hopes of winning its first series in conference play this season, Alabama will have to play much better on Saturday and Sunday.

This is do-or-die time for the boys on the diamond!
