Alabama Baseball Takes Series Finale in Starkville: Roll Call, May 6, 2024

It took one of the gutsiest efforts of the season, but the No. 23 Alabama baseball team was able to win its series finale against No. 16 Mississippi State on Sunday. After battling illness, which befell coaches and players alike all weekend, the Crimson Tide took a 10-5 result over the Bulldogs.

Mississippi State won the first two, and in the series' second game, Alabama was missing three starters when things got underway and three more left during the game. That day's starter, freshman Zane Adams, did all he could. Sunday starter Ben Hess stepped up and, paced by a strong breaking ball, delivered four strong innings. Max Grant hit a home run in two consecutive games.

It's been a challenge for SEC teams to get wins on the road even before factoring in the adverse circumstances thrown Alabama's way for its three-game set at Dudy Noble Field. The Crimson Tide's next challenge is a road midweek against Troy, before a weekend series at home against LSU. The Tigers will bring old friends Luke Holman and Kade Woods to Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
