Alabama Secures The Series Opener In Tuscaloosa
On Friday afternoon, the No. 22 Alabama Crimson Tide remained undefeated at home after their 8-4 series-opening win over the Wright State Raiders.
Following the win in game one of three, coach Brad Bohannon said, It was really exciting to see a lot of hard contact up and down the lineup, I thought we were really good offensively. Not as efficient as we need to be, but I was really glad to see a lot of production out of the bottom (of the lineup).
The winning pitcher of record for Alabama is junior LHP Tyler Ras after going 7.0 innings with five strikeouts, allowing only one hit and one run - both stemming from the single home run given up in the third inning.
