TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama baseball suffered a 7-6 loss to UAB on Tuesday evening at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. The loss moves the Crimson Tide to 23-15 on the season.

The two teams traded runs all evening. Alabama was first on the board with three runs in the bottom of the third thanks to a bases loaded walk by William Hamiter and a two-out, two-run single from Andrew Pinckney. UAB would answer with a grand slam in the top of the fourth to take their first lead. The Tide posted single tallies in the fourth and fifth to pull back in front, before a two-run sixth gave the Blazers the advantage once again. Alabama pulled even with one run in the seventh, but another UAB run in the eighth put the Blazers in front for good.

UAB reliever Aidan Moza (2-0) recorded the win for UAB with 2.2 scoreless frames. Brock Guffey (2-1) was charged with the loss, allowing one run over 2.1 frames with four punchouts. Tommy Seidl led the Alabama offense with a 4-for-5 night that included two runs and a stolen base.

From Head Coach Brad Bohannon​

"It starts at the top, and obviously, I'm doing an incredibly poor job of getting us ready on Tuesdays. We've tried everything. We've tried taking a day off before; we've tried the light practice; we've tried a hard practice; and even the couple times we've won on Tuesday we really haven't played well. We played poorly again tonight. We didn't deserve to win."

How It Happened​

• T4 | A grand slam by Matthew Golda gave the Blazers their first lead of the night. (4-3, UAB)
• B4 | Tommy Seidl picked up his third hit with a one-out single through the right side. After advancing to second on a wild pitch, the Tide left fielder came around to score on an RBI-single to left from Drew Williamson. (4-4)
• B5 | Bryce Eblin hit a sacrifice fly to center to score Dominic Tamez and retake the lead for UA. The Tide backstop led off the inning with a single to center and advanced to third on a pair of walks before coming in to score. (5-4, Alabama)
