Tide Takes Game Three From Vandy, Headed to SEC Tournament

A pack of four Crimson Tide pitchers combined to help Alabama baseball shut out the seventh-ranked Vanderbilt Commodores, 1-0, on Saturday afternoon. With the win, Alabama improves to 30-26 on the season and 12-18 in the conference.

Will Carter earned his second win of the week with 3.0 innings of work, allowing just two hits and striking out one to improve to 4-5 on the season. Geoffrey Bramblett started the game and was followed by Alex Watkins, Carter and Thomas Burrows to limit the Commodores to five total hits. Burrows earned his team-high sixth save of the season with 1.2 innings of work, including a perfect 1-2-3 ninth inning.

Alabama head coach Mitch Gaspard claims his 200^th career victory as the head man at Alabama with today’s victory. The shutout was Vanderbilt’s first game without a score all year.
