Florida uses late rally to move past Alabama, eliminates Tide from tournament

Alabama erased two Florida leads, but could not catch up to the Gators’ late rally to advance in the SEC Tournament.

The no. 11 seeded Alabama Crimson Tide played well in Saturday’s elimination game against Florida, by erasing the Gators’ lead two different times over the course of the game.

However, it was a four-run 9th inning by Florida that ultimately lifted the Gators over Alabama, 11-6 in an elimination game at the SEC Tournament in Hoover.

Florida led off with a home run by power hitter Wyatt Langford on just the third pitch of the game to push them ahead, 1-0. The Gators would score three more runs on a two-RBI single by Josh Rivera, and an RBI double by Jac Caglianone.

Despite being down 4-0 before even picking up a bat, Alabama did not fret. The Tide evened up the score beginning with an RBI single by[autotag] Dominic Tamez[/autotag], and ending with a three-run blast by [autotag]Zane Denton[/autotag].

Alabama’s second comeback of the day happened in the 3rd inning. Over the 2nd and 3rd inning, Florida regained the lead by scoring one run in each inning. Alabama tied the game yet again on one swing of the bat. [autotag]Drew Williamson[/autotag] crushed a two-run homer to center field to bring the game to a 6-6 tie.

Florida jumped back in front in the 6th inning when BT Riopelle grounded into a double play to score Langford from 3rd base. Then put the game out of reach in the bottom of the 9th by plating four runs in the top of the inning.

Williamson led Alabama at the plate with two hits, while Denton drove in three runs.

Alabama will now sit back and await their fate in the NCAA Tournament, the announcement of the Tide’s postseason destination will come Monday morning.

Alabama downs Arkansas to keep hot streak alive

Alabama grabbed their second win in the SEC Tournament by striking early and fighting off a comeback effort.

The Alabama Crimson Tide just keeps finding ways to win.

For the second day in a row, Alabama grabbed a win by taking an early lead and fighting off a comeback attempt by their opponent in the SEC Tournament. On Wednesday, the victim was Arkansas, who Alabama defeated, 4-3 at the Hoover Met.

After defeating Georgia on Tuesday to move into the double-elimination portion of the bracket at the SEC Tournament, Alabama got a tough draw in the no. 3 seed Arkansas Razorbacks.

While Arkansas has been a top-10 team all season, they have faltered in recent weeks, especially against Alabama. The Crimson Tide closed the regular season by taking two-of-three games from the Razorbacks in Tuscaloosa and had another shot to keep their momentum going.

Alabama struck first in the 2nd inning. With the bases loaded [autotag]Tommy Siedl[/autotag] reached base with a fielder’s choice, which allowed [autotag]Dominic Tamez[/autotag] to score to give Alabama the 1-0 lead. However, a throwing error by Arkansas allowed an additional run. After [autotag]Zane Denton[/autotag] crossed the plate, the Tide found themselves up, 2-0.

The Tide extended their lead by two runs over the next two innings. [autotag]Caden Rose[/autotag] scored on a sacrifice fly by [autotag]Drew Williamson[/autotag]in the 3rd inning, and another Razorback error led to Siedl scoring, setting up Alabama with a 4-1 lead.

Much like Tuesday’s game with Georgia, Arkansas used the long ball to trim the Tide lead, but it would not be enough. Jalen Battles hit a solo home run to left center in the 3rd inning, and Chris Lanzilli hit a two-run blast in the 6th to cut the lead to 4-3.

In a game that saw just nine hits total by both teams, Drew Williamson recorded two of Alabama’s four hits. Zane Denton and [autotag]Bryce Eblin[/autotag] picked up the other two.

The Crimson Tide used five pitchers in the game, with [autotag]Antoine Jean[/autotag] grabbing the win for Alabama. [autotag]Dylan Ray[/autotag] was instrumental for the second straight day, as he picked up his 8th save of the season by striking out the only batter he faced in the 9th.

Alabama will now await the winner of Tennessee-Vanderbilt. Due to weather yet again altering the schedule, Tennessee will face Vanderbilt at 9:30 a.m. CDT Thursday morning, meaning that Alabama’s next game will be determined at a later time.
