The Alabama baseball team took down another top 10 opponent this weekend as they won 2 of 3 games from the 6th ranked Arkansas Razorbacks at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. The series win puts the Crimson Tide (29-23, 13-14) in 7th place in the SEC, a half game up on Kentucky and LSU and 1 1/2 games up on Tennessee.
Alabama defeated Arkansas 9-5 in the rubber game on Sunday and was led by senior CF Emeel Salem, playing his final game at the Joe. Salem had four hits in the game including a two run homer to break a 4-4 tie in the 6th inning. Junior Will Stroup pitched a complete game for the Crimson Tide.
Arkansas (37-16, 17-10) won Saturday's game 12-5 and pounded out four homers in the contest. Alabama won Friday nights opening game 10-0 behind a dominant pitching performance from Tommy Hunter and big offensive days from Salem and sophomore 3B/DH Alex Avilla.
Alabama now heads to Starkville, MS to take on the Mississippi State Bulldogs in a three game series this week. The games will be starting a day earlier than usual with game one on Thursday. Games 2 and 3 of the series will be played on Friday and Saturday.
