3 bold predictions for Alabama baseball's series vs. Vanderbilt
Alabama baseball returns to action Thursday night for the first of three games against Vanderbilt. Here are three bold takes for the series.
The Alabama Crimson Tide will host the Vanderbilt Commodores for a three-game set beginning on Thursday night. The Tide enter the matchup with an overall record of 29-16 (10-11 SEC). Alabama has struggled throughout April, but a potential series victory over Vanderbilt would prove to be massive for the Tide in gaining some momentum prior to the postseason.
Here are three bold predictions for Alabama’s series vs. Vanderbilt in Tuscaloosa. Tyler Fay shines over 7+ innings pitched Fay has been one of the lone bright spots for the Tide throughout the second half of April.
The star pitcher will be on the mound for the series opener against the Commodores on Thursday evening, as Fay will look to set the tone early despite facing a talented Vanderbilt lineup. Fay surrendered four earned runs over five innings during Alabama’s victory over Tennessee last weekend, as the star flamethrower will look to get the Tide back in the win column on Thursday. Eric Hines stays red hot, records 3+ home runs Hines has been red hot at the plate throughout the past few weeks of play.
The star freshman currently holds a . 281 batting average on the year, as Hines went 2-for-5 with a towering home run in the sixth inning of last Friday’s contest in Knoxville. Hines will look to keep things rolling against Vanderbilt, as the talented hitter continues to shine throughout the month of April.
