The Tide lost their second straight SEC series, losing Friday 10-2, Saturday 3-1, but pulled out game three by a score of 2-1. Alabama fell to 28-13 overall and 9-9 in the SEC. Texas improved to 30-8 and 11-6 in conference play.

The win on Sunday was Alabama baseball’s first win over Texas in 122 years, April 3rd, 1904 is the only other win in the history of the program. Texas holds an 11-2 margin in victories. Now that the Longhorns are in the SEC the teams will play more often.

Game One-Lost 10-2 Alabama right hander Tyler Fay took his game one spot against Texas left hander Dylan Volantis. Volantis had been in the Sunday slot for the Longhorns but when they had a rainout last weekend and Volantis missed his turn, he was moved to game one. That worked out pretty well for the home team.
