Big Bats

Trailing 7-3, the Crimson Tide put together a rally in the eighth for their most explosive inning of the game. Moore led off with a stand-up double and Booth followed in the next at-bat with a single to drive him in. Smith's double down the left field line put runners on second and third for Overstreet, whose groundout drove in Booth. Cameron Mike capped off the inning when his RBI single to center on the first pitch he saw to cut the deficit to 7-6. But it would not be enough as the Tide went scoreless in the ninth.
