Alabama put together a three-run 9th inning to give the No. 6 Gators a scare but ultimately lost its first game of the 2022 SEC schedule, 6-4, on Friday.
After a long pitching battle between the Tide and Texas's two starters, the Longhorns came out on top after putting up a run in the bottom of the seventh inning.
Baseball coach Brad Bohannon noted in his opening statements during media availability on Thursday that the Crimson Tide was a little newer on the mound this season. However, the two catching transfers Alabama brought in this season should help this new staff grow and create a powerful battery for the Tide.
The Alabama Crimson Tide baseball team has hired former SEC Player of the Year Hunter Morris as an assistant coach. Morris was the 2008 SEC Freshman of the year and the 2010 SEC Player of the Year at Auburn University. He spent his last three years working as an assistant coach at UT-Martin.
