In May of last year Bama set a program record finishing the season undefeated in mid-week games: 13-0. Last week they pushed that record to 15-0.

And tonight...going for another against one of the best teams in the nation; on the road.

Blackwood had a good outing the last time ...

Tonight's game should have an SEC matchup feel to it. Bama beat USM in Tuscaloosa last season during a midweeker, but then USM got the last laugh and beat UA in a very close game to eliminate them from the Hattiesburg regional. The Golden Eagles are coming into this one hot, havgin won 6 in a row, including a win last weekend over a good Oregon State squad. USM is starting freshman Dylan Causey on the mound... his first collegiate start (he's appeared in 3 games this season... 2 IP, 0 ER). Neither team comes into this one with very hot bats... Bama is dead last in the SEC in BA. If USM was in the SEC, they'd be 2nd to last.

On Bama specifically... after I mentioned a week ago that Jason Torres was maybe looking like he'd turned the corner at the plate, he's reverted back to 2025 Jason Torres (which is a bad thing). Bad for him and bad for the UA lineup, because Vaughn is unlikely to sit him if history is any indication of his intentions. This Bama squad really needs a couple of the vets to get going with the bat and they also need Sam Chritiansen and Logen Davenport to heal up and get healthy ASAP.
