Iron Bowl Baseball Exhibition Set for Friday

If you don't plan to be under the Friday night lights of high school football but do love a good Iron Bowl matchup, then you should check out Alabama baseball's exhibition with Auburn Friday under the lights of "The Joe."

The Crimson Tide and Tigers are set for a 5 p.m. CT first pitch at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. Admission to the exhibition is free. Fans of both teams are encouraged to bring their own food and drink as concession stands will not be open.

Gates open two hours prior to first pitch. Fans should enter the facility through: Gates 1-3 located directly behind home plate; Gate 9 in center field; or Gate 12 along the left field line. Once inside, fans are asked to stay in the lower bowl seating area with access to the upper level premium areas of the stadium prohibited.

The Coleman Coliseum lot adjacent to Sewell-Thomas will be in-use by fans attending Homecoming festivities on Oct. 13. Those wanting to park for the baseball exhibition are asked to park at no charge, in the Capstone Parking Deck located at the corner of Bryant Drive and 2^nd Avenue.

If you want more Bama baseball, the Tide will hold a Thursday's scrimmage. That intrasquad contest  is set to begin at 3:30 p.m. The length is to be determined.
