Thanks to a strong five-inning showing from senior pitcher Garrett McMillian, the Alabama baseball team was able to even the three-game series against Auburn, 4-2 on Saturday.
Despite being on a pitch count, McMillian tossed 5.0-plus scoreless innings surrendering just one hit while striking out four batters.
Offensively, Alabama was only able to muster five hits on the night but thanks to eight walks and three hit-by-pitch, the Tide was able to outscore the Tigers.
Alabama and Auburn will play for the series on Sunday. Alabama will send right-hander Jacob McNairy to the hill with Auburn calling on Christian Herberholz, also a righty. Fans can catch the series finale live on SEC Network+.
