@Brandon Van de Graaff It continues with getting OU and TX confused...now, I got the teams right, but I can't get the locations...

Meatball sub hangover.

Going to the T9, up 10-4. Bama started hot but haven't been able to generate any extra runs. Fay was delivering earlier. Bradley Neal had a clutch ass rob.

Alabama takes game 1, 10-7! & straight SEC wins...

A little bit of a weird game... Alabama showed up early on offense scoring 10 runs in the first 2 innings, including 4 HR's (2 by Fowler). LJ Mercurius got the start for the Sooners and lasted only 1 1/3 innings after getting knocked around. He was relieved by his brother, Xander Mercurius, and he too was greeted rudley by the Bama bats... giving up 2 of Bama's HR's before he could get out of the 2nd inning. To his credit though, he came back out in the 3rd and silenced the Tide bats. He pitched into the 8th, and UA never really threatened again while he was on the mound. But, while the Bama bats fell silent, that 10 run cushion was plenty for Tyler Fay to work with. Fay went 6 innings, gave up 4 runs on 6 hits, 7 K's and 1 walk. Worth noting that Brady Neal made a fantastic grab at the wall in right in the 6th that kept things from getting really interesting in terms of OU climbing back in it. Speaking of Neal, at the plate, he was 4-4 with a walk (a HR shy of the cycle). Reliever Sam Mitchell took over in the 7th to try and finish the game, but ran out of gas in the 9th. IMO, the staff left him in too long, but I know they wanted to get out of the game without burning another guy. Anyway, Mitchell gave up 3 runs in the 9th, and with 2 outs and a Sooner on 2nd, Heiberger came in and got the strikeout to end it.

Big ass win on the road against a really good OU team.
