Live Updates: Alabama Baseball vs UAB
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — It's $2 Tuesday at The Joe, and Alabama baseball is back at it again. After an eight-game win streak was snapped over the weekend at No. 1 Tennessee, the Crimson Tide returns to the diamond to play against the UAB Blazers.
UAB and Alabama already faced each other earlier this season in a tight 5-4 loss by the Crimson Tide at Regions Field in Birmingham. After losing back-to-back games to the Volunteers this past weekend, Alabama is looking to get back on track as well as correct its mistakes that it displayed at UAB earlier this season.
The Blazers are coming off of a 7-4 win against Old Dominion, a win that ended a four-game losing skid.
