Live Updates: Alabama Baseball at Southern Miss
After a 12-5 start to the season, Alabama baseball looks to pick up one more win heading into its first weekend of SEC play.
The Crimson Tide wrapped up last weekend with a three-game sweep of Binghamton, signifying that it had swept every non-conference weekend that it had faced up to this point barring its trip to then-No. 1 Texas.
Now, all that stands in-between Alabama and its first three-game SEC series is the Southern Miss Golden Eagles. Southern Miss has started the season 10-6 and has some solid wins on its resume, including a sweep of North Alabama — a team that bested the Crimson Tide last week by a score of 9-5.
Follow along below as Alabama looks to pick up one more non-conference win heading into SEC play. This page will be updated throughout tonight's game with live stats, analysis and information.
