Fay and Lebron save day vs Missouri, but how does Alabama baseball stay alive in SEC Tournament?
HOOVER — Alabama baseball's journey in the 2025 SEC Tournament started with a victory, restoring a glory the Crimson Tide hadn't felt since its last conference tournament win in 2023. Starting pitcher Tyler Fay's day bred faith for a rotation of arms that've put some wear and tear on Alabama's offense. No matter how much octane the Crimson Tide brings to the plate, its bats have been known to run out of run support once the magic runs out on the mound. Advertisement On Tuesday, No. 16 seed Missouri set the stage for a walk-off with bases loaded in the final frame, out-hit the Crimson Tide, and left 12 runners on base without a single error. Against a historically bad team of Tigers, Alabama could afford an error, or leaving nine guys stranded. Not against No. 8 seed Tennessee. LOOKING AHEAD: When do Alabama baseball and Tennessee play in second round of SEC Tournament? REQUIRED READING: Texas A&M told Rob Vaughn he 'wasn't good enough,' and it shapes Alabama baseball today The biggest thing Alabama baseball has to do to survive Tennessee Alabama survived Tuesday because Fay finally climbed the wall that he's been running into in the fifth inning. Advertisement Throwing 50 strikes on 75 pitches, Fay earned his first career win as a starter with a career-long six innings, allowing one earned run on five hits with one walk. Riley Quick, a second-team All-SEC selection for Alabama, wants the starting nod against the Vols, but pitching coach Jason Jackson isn't ready to deal in absolutes quite yet. Both he and skipper Rob Vaughn said Tuesday that their second-round starter wasn't set in stone. "I think saving the bullpen is an awesome thing, especially at this tournament," Fay, a former reliever, said. If not Quick, unquestionably Alabama's most reliable arm, then who? The roster's ERA is 4.93, and only four pitchers other than Zane Adams, Quick and Fay have received starting nods, leaving Aeden Finateri, JT Blackwood and Bobby Alcock as the only remaining options who have experienced that kind of pressure this season. Finateri touts the lowest ERA of the three, maintaining a 4.39 mark. But he's logged fewer innings than Blackwood, who has a 5.56 ERA, and Alcock, who has an ERA of 6.03. Regardless of who starts, they have to be ready to go long, because when the Crimson Tide calls for relief, disaster can answer. Advertisement Even before Tuesday's first pitch, Vaughn said Alabama "didn't know quite what we're going to have today." The biggest hope just that Fay could see the Crimson Tide "get out of the gate." "Keeping guys fresh is a big thing, and I think I did a pretty good job with that today," Fay said. May 20, 2025; Hoover, AL, USA; Alabama pitcher Tyler Fay (8) makes a pitch against Missouri in the first game of the SEC Baseball Tournament at the Hoover Met. More big moments from Justin Lebron mean more time in the SEC Tournament Whether backing up his pitchers or at the plate, Justin Lebron lives for the moments when he gets to come in clutch, and he had no shortage to start Alabama's time in Hoover. "Recently, I've been struggling a bit," Lebron said, referencing his 13-game streak without a triple or a home run that snapped with a blast against Georgia. "My biggest thing going forward is aim small and push it to the next guy, so my whole goal is just to get it to Kade Snell, who's our best hitter in the lineup at this point." After Missouri interrupted four scoreless innings with a homer to plate the first run of the SEC Tournament, Lebron answered with an RBI single to get Alabama on the board before Snell secured a 2-1 lead with a base-hit of his own. He started the day showing why he was a back-to-back selection to the All-SEC Defensive Team, scooping up a ground ball in the second inning to leave a Tiger on base that would've scored for Missouri had Lebron not saved Jason Torres' miss at third base. Advertisement "It kind of worked out well for us," Lebron smirked. Alabama and Tennessee face off at 9:30 a.m. CT to kick off the second round of the 2025 SEC Tournament on Wednesday.

Alabama falls in Game 3, drops SEC regular season finale at Florida
Alabama falls in Game 3, drops SEC regular season finale at Florida In what was the final weekend of the regular season, the Alabama Crimson Tide traveled to Gainesville, Florida this past week for one final conference series before the SEC Tournament. Starting on Thursday night, Alabama squared off with the Florida Gators in a ranked SEC baseball series where big stakes were attached for both programs, in particular when it comes to potentially hosting a regional in the NCAA Tournament. However, it would be Florida who ended with the final word in Game 1 on Thursday night, eventually coming away with a 7-6 victory. In the loss, Alabama originally jumped out to an early lead behind a solid start from right-hander Tyler Fay, holding a 5-0 advantage after the third inning following home runs from Richie Bonomolo Jr. and Justin Lebron. However, the Crimson Tide still held a lead late, but saw the Gators claim a 7-6 advantage in the seventh which they would never give up. Friday, Alabama however bounced back in a big way during Game 2, coming away with an impressive 9-6 victory. Led by a solid start from Riley Quick in which he allowed only two runs with seven strikeouts over five innings, the story for Alabama was likely the offense however, headlined by a five-run fifth inning. Included in this inning was a big three RBI double from Brady Neal, which built a sizable lead for the Crimson Tide. With both teams splitting the two games, it set up a decisive rubber-match Game 3 on Saturday, one in which the Gators eventually came away with a 9-3 victory to take the series. In the loss, Alabama fell behind early, and never were able to erase that deficit, in part due to a five-run fifth inning. With these results, Alabama concludes the regular season with a 40-15 overall record, as well as a 16-14 mark in SEC play. The Crimson Tide's next game will come in the 2025 SEC Tournament this week in Hoover.

Red-hot Florida baseball ends regular season with three game set against Alabama
Red-hot Florida baseball ends regular season with three game set against Alabama Florida returned to national relevance last weekend with a sixth straight series win against the SEC and a season-defining victory against the previously No. 1-ranked Texas Longhorns. The Gators now have a chance to end the regular season with a .500 record or better in conference play as the Alabama Crimson Tide come to Gainesville for a three-game series starting Thursday. Starting shortstop Colby Shelton is once again listed as out on the SEC Availability Report heading into the weekend. He's missed the past few weeks and Florida's offense has kept pace, but the rest of the lineup is going to suffer at some point with him on the bench. McCall Biemiller, Niko Janssens and Jacob Gomberg are all new additions to the injury report, giving Florida limited left-handed relief arms this weekend. The good news is that Florida's big lefty, Pierce Coppola, is back in the fold and should look to go four innings in his third start back from injury. Liam Peterson is the expected Friday night starter, with Coppola going Saturday and freshman Aidan King in the Sunday slot. Florida has all but secured a playoff spot, but there's an outside shot at hosting a regional with the second-half surge coming together. A sweep of Alabama may do the trick, but a deep run in Hoover might also be needed. Here's what the Gators are putting on the field this weekend. Projected Starting Lineup: Florida Gators Pos. Player Name AVG OBP SLG AB R H HR RBI C Luke Heyman .301 .394 .578 173 37 52 13 44 1B Brody Donay .303 .422 .642 165 349 50 14 31 2B Justin Nadeau .289 .423 .423 142 31 41 3 21 3B Brendan Lawson .316 .429 .535 187 39 59 9 54 SS Bobby Boser .319 .422 .578 204 62 65 14 54 LF Blake Cyr .253 .358 .414 174 40 44 7 29 CF Hayden Yost .283 .399 .415 159 36 45 3 33 RF Ashton Wilson .247 .407 .400 85 23 21 3 19 DH Ty Evans .240 .294 .430 100 21 24 3 23 Probable Starters: Game 1 - Thursday (6:30 p.m. ET) Team Pitcher Record ERA FLORIDA RHP Liam Peterson 8-2 3.81 ALABAMA RHP Tyler Fay 0-2 5.54 NOTES: Liam Peterson threw Saturday last weekend, but he only went four innings (66 pitches). Florida's ace should be rested, and the SEC Tournament starts next Tuesday, May 20, so he needs to be on the right throwing schedule. Texas put more bat to ball against Peterson last weekend than we're used to seeing, but the Longhorns are one of the nation's elite programs. Alabama isn't much easier of an opponent, but Peterson's strikeout numbers should return to normal. Tyler Fay started the year as a bullpen arm for Alabama, but has moved into the starting rotation over the last month or so. He's a power sinker-slider guy who can run it up to 95 mph and mix in a changeup. His walk rate is down from 9.6% to 5.7% as a freshman, but the strikeout rate also slightly dipped from 19.3% to 17.6%. Fay's ground ball rate is also notable in Year 2, moving above 50% while his fly ball rate drops below 30%. Florida's not going to mash against this guy, but this Gators team isn't built to win off the home run. Probable Starters: Game 2 - Friday (6:30 p.m. ET) Team Pitcher Record ERA FLORIDA RHP Pierce Coppola 3-0 1.15 ALABAMA RHP Riley Quick 7-2 3.53 NOTES: Pierce Coppola being back in the rotation helps Florida's bullpen a lot, especially the guys who have been throwing multiple times a series the last couple of months. Coppola hasn't been able to avoid the injury bug at any point in his college career, but he's back in the fold for a postseason push similar to last year. Coppola is still ramping up, so expect him to go no more than four innings. His stuff has seemed the same, as far as generating swing and miss goes, but there's some hesitancy there that hasn't been addressed fully just yet. Still, he's a good option to get through the lineup once, maybe twice, before turning things over to the 'pen. Big strikeout numbers and a low ERA are never bad. Riley Quick missed all of last season with Tommy John, but he's been Alabama's most impressive starter in his return season. With a 3.53 ERA and 57 strikeouts to just 18 walks over 51 innings, Quick is going to be another tough starter to crack. His fastball runs up to 99 mph and sits 96-97 most of the time and his mid-80s slider can be a plus pitch when it's on. Quick also has a changeup that he's working on, but it's the slider that Florida should game plan for. There are some command concerns with Quick, so patience is another key for the Gators. Probable Starters: Game 3 - Saturday (4 p.m. ET) Team Pitcher Record ERA FLORIDA Aidan King 5-2 2.90 ALABAMA LHP Zane Adams 7-2 4.84 NOTES: Aidan King might have been at his best last weekend against Texas, or at least the best since his SEC debut against Tennessee. Nothing is guaranteed in the SEC, though. With Adams on the mound, Alabama is going to give it all to win the regular season finale at home. King just needs to stay away from the walks and he's golden. The strikeout stuff is usually there, and he's learning to go deeper in games. Zane Adams entered the year as Alabama's ace and held his own this season. Adams is down in walk rate (10.1% to 8.1%) and up in strikeout rate (21.8% to 17.5%). While hitters are batting slightly better against him than last year, his SIERA is down from 4.52 to 3.78 this year, which suggests improvement from the pitcher and implies worse luck, among other factors. Florida doesn't need to worry about velocity here. Adams is a 90-92 mph guy who can run it up to 94-95 early when the juice is flowing. He has a breaker that can come in slow and slurvy or low-to-mid-80s and more slidery, while also working in a changeup and cutter. Other Players to Watch It's not an Alabama preview without mentioning Justin Lebron, the 2024 SEC Freshman of the Year and early-season favorite for the 2025 Golden Spikes Award. Gators Wire got an early look at Lebron on the high school circuit in Broward County when he played for Archbishop McCarthy. He showed plenty of promise defensively and had 70 hits over two seasons on varsity, but he never showed the kind of power potential that would lead to a top-5 conference ranking in home runs (17). He only had one in high school. Besides avoiding the future first-round bat, there are at least two other Crimson Tide bats with an OPS over 1.000 — senior first baseman Will Hodo and senior outfielder Kade Snell. Hodo is second on the team with 13 home runs and has a penchant for getting hit with 17 plunks this year. Snell is the team's hit leader with 73, good for third in the SEC. Out of the bullpen, Carson Ozmer leads the way with a 2.10 ERA over 26 appearances and 34.1 innings. Florida will likely see him twice this weekend. There's also Braylon Myers with a 2.57 ERA and 49 strikeouts through 35.0 innings (18 appearances) to consider. Series History OVERALL 70-59 AT HOME 35-19 AWAY 25-31 NEUTRAL 10-9 Follow the Action THURSDAY (6:30 p.m. ET) FRIDAY (6:30 p.m. ET) SUNDAY (4 p.m. ET) * Watch links go directly to game feed Predictions GAME 1: Florida, 8-4 GAME 2: Florida, 6-5 GAME 3: Florida, 5-4 Series prediction: The Friday matchup is Florida's best with a former reliever on the mound for Alabama and Liam Peterson pitching for the Orange and Blue, but Friday and Saturday could go either way. Kevin O'Sullivan's crew is hot, though, so we're riding with a Gators sweep to close out the regular season.
