BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Alabama baseball put together a complete effort on Tuesday evening at Regions Field, taking down the UAB Blazers by a score of 9-3. The midweek win sets the Crimson Tide at 25-15 on the season.
Jake Eddington (1-0) picked up his first career win in a spot start. After finding out he would get the nod just minutes before first pitch, Eddington came out and worked 3.0 innings of two-run baseball with four strikeouts. The right-hander then turned it over to the bullpen with the duo of Eli Giles and Hunter Ruth working the final 6.0 frames. Ruth earned the save with 3.0 scoreless that featured four strikeouts.
Alabama's offense put together an equally impressive performance, posting nine runs on 12 hits with eight of the nine starters recording at least one base knock. Six of those hits were doubles, a new season-high total for UA. The offense was led by Caden Rose with the freshman finishing 3-for-4 and a triple short of the cycle. Rose added a team-high three runs to go with two RBI.
"I was really proud of our kids, they really brought it tonight. It was a really well-rounded game. I'm really pleased with the three kids that pitched tonight. Jake Eddington found out about 20 minutes before the game that he was starting with us having a late scratch. Jake set the tone for us, Eli (Giles) threw the ball well and Hunter Ruth was outstanding for his second time in a row. We scored in six different innings, made a lot of hard contact up and down the lineup and made some nice defensive plays, so it was a really good day for us."
How It Happened
- T1 | William Hamiter doubled to center before coming home in the next at-bat on an RBI-single from Zane Denton. (1-0, Alabama)
