Alabama is now 32-17 and Troy improved to 24-25 on the season.

After a 25-0 record in out of conference last season, this year’s Tide team finished 19-6, including 9-4 in midweek. Of the 13 midweek games Alabama played eight on the road-finishing 5-3 in those contests, and only five at home. The team was 4-1 in the games at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.

In a schedule that would make Bingo Long and his Traveling All-Stars proud, the Tide crisscrossed the state of Alabama, and dipped into Mississippi, playing games in Birmingham twice, Montgomery, Mobile, Jacksonville (AL), Huntsville, Troy, and Hattiesburg, MS. Bama logged approximately 2,100 miles in midweek games alone. Throw in the early season tournament in Frisco, TX and conference series’s in Lexington, Norman, OK, Austin, Knoxville, and Columbia, SC and this team truly were road warriors, with 5,000 more miles for a total of 7,100 miles traveled.

Alabama started JT Blackwood on the mound Tuesday night and he was lights out. Blackwood tossed 4 innings and faced the minimum of 12 hitters, allowing only one hit, a single to Steven Meir. Tide catcher Johnny Lemm threw out Meir trying to steal.
