TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama and Texas A&M matched up for a pitchers' duel on Friday night at Sewell-Thomas Stadium with the Aggies coming out on top, 3-2. The Crimson Tide is now 15-12 on the season and 2-5 in Southeastern Conference play.

Alabama's pitchers surrendered three runs and combined for 14 strikeouts with Texas A&M's arms countering for 11 punchouts and two runs allowed by night's end. Nathan Dettmer (2-2) picked up the win for the Aggies, allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks with seven strikeouts while Brad Rudis picked up his second save of the season. Garrett McMillan (2-2) suffered the loss, allowing three runs on six hits and a walk with an Alabama season-high nine strikeouts.

The Crimson Tide was first on the board in Friday's game, gaining a 1-0 advantage in the bottom of the second thanks to an RBI-double from Andrew Pinckney. The Aggies matched UA with a run in the top of the fourth before a Texas A&M two-run home run in the sixth broke the tie. Alabama battled for one run in the bottom of the seventh and had the bases loaded with a chance to tie, but a groundout ended the rally. The Crimson Tide was able to load the bases once again, this time in the eighth, but a strikeout kept the game-tying run at third.

From Head Coach Brad Bohannon​

"This was a really good college baseball game, and I thought the starting pitchers were outstanding. Garrett McMillan gave us a great start and Hunter Hoopes and Brock Guffey did some good things out of the bullpen. (Texas A&M) hit the home run in the sixth inning, and we had our chances in the seventh and eighth, but we just couldn't get a big hit when it mattered, and that's the difference in the game. Credit to their bullpen, they made some pitches when it counted, and we just didn't do enough offensively."

How It Happened​

• B2 | Owen Diodati led off the inning with a single to right and advanced to second on an infield groundout. Andrew Pinckney followed with an RBI-double to the wall in left to get the Tide on the board first. (1-0, Alabama)
• T4 | A two-out double to left-center tied the contest at one apiece. (1-1)
• T6 | Brett Minnich snuck a ball inside the foul pole and over the wall in right for a two-run home run. (3-1, Texas A&M)
• B7 | Jim Jarvis worked a two-out bases-loaded walk to cut the Aggie advantage to one. (3-2, Texas A&M)

Postgame Notes​

• Alabama pitchers struck out 14 in tonight's contest and have punched out 10-or-more hitters in 13 games this season.
• Garrett McMillan recorded a career-high nine strikeouts in tonight's game. McMillan's previous high for strikeouts was seven, which he accomplished three separate times this season, most recently against Florida on March 18.
• McMillan's nine strikeouts are also the most by any Tide pitcher this season. Alabama's arms had punched out seven batters seven different times heading into tonight. The most recent instance came at Mississippi State on March 26 when Jacob McNairy struck out seven in his start.
• Eight of the nine starters on offense reached base safely on Friday night.
• Jim Jarvis has reached base safely in 17 straight SEC games dating back to May 2 of last season against Missouri.

• Dominic Tamez has recorded a hit in six straight SEC games. The junior is batting .321 (9-28) with a double, four RBI, and a run scored during that stretch.
• Owen Diodati has now reached base safely in 12 straight contests overall, dating back to March 12 against Binghamton

Trio of Big Innings Help Baseball Outlast Texas A&M, 10-9, on Saturday - Alabama Athletics

A wild back-and-forth contest saw Alabama baseball outlast the Texas A&M Aggies, 10-9, on Saturday afternoon at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – A wild back-and-forth contest saw Alabama baseball outlast the Texas A&M Aggies, 10-9, on Saturday afternoon at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. The Crimson Tide evened the series up with the win and is now 16-12 overall, 3-5 in Southeastern Conference play.

Both teams posted crooked numbers for a majority of their runs on Saturday afternoon. Alabama's offense recorded four runs in the fourth to go with three runs apiece in the fifth and seventh on the way to 10 runs, while A&M used a seven-run sixth to go with single tallies in the fourth and eighth for nine runs. The Aggies had the tying run at third with one down in the eighth but two huge strikeouts from Dylan Ray ended the rally. Texas A&M also reached the tying and go-ahead runs in the ninth and had both runners in scoring position with two down, but another inning-ending strikeout from Ray sealed the 10-9 win for Alabama.

Ray earned his third save of the season, working the final 2.0 innings and allowing one run on four hits with five strikeouts. The win went to Tide reliever Antoine Jean (2-1), with the junior contributing 2.0 innings and allowing two unearned runs on one hit and a walk with one strikeout.

Alabama's offense was led by Caden Rose who finished a perfect 2-for-2 with two walks, a run and a team-high three RBI from the nine-hole. Andrew Pinckney and William Hamiter also contributed multi-RBI efforts at two apiece with Hamiter delivering a two-run single in the seventh for what would prove to be the difference on Saturday.

From Head Coach Brad Bohannon​

"It's safe to say it was a pretty wild day at the ballpark. It's pretty rare that you can give up a seven spot in an inning and still win the game, but both teams made a lot of mistakes today after playing a really clean game last night. Jacob McNairy gave us a great start, just had a little bit of bad luck in the sixth and hit a wall, but his first five innings were especially outstanding. Antoine (Jean) did a good job of holding them, and then (Dylan Ray) did a great job of closing it out. (William Hamiter) had a big hit along with Caden Rose and Bryce Eblin. I'm really glad to get a win, and I told the kids we have to come to the ballpark tomorrow like we won three of our last four."

How It Happened​

• T4 | The Aggies got on the board with a two-out single to center to score the game's first run. (1-0, Texas A&M)
• B4 | Tommy Seidl and Drew Williamson started the frame with back-to-back bunts to put runners on the corners for Andrew Pinckney. A fielding error on a ball hit to third brought in the tying run and left two on for UA. A sac bunt moved both runners into scoring position before a walk to Bryce Eblin loaded them up for Caden Rose. The Tide center fielder took advantage of the opportunity, dropping a single in front of his A&M counterpart to score one. Jim Jarvis followed with an RBI-single of his own followed by a sacrifice fly from Eric Foggo to widen the gap. (4-1, Alabama)
• B5 | Seidl led off the inning with a single and moved into scoring position on a wild pitch. A single from Williamson put runners on the corners for Pinckney, who brought one in and reached himself on a fielder's choice. The Aggies then recorded out No. 2 to bring Eblin to the plate. He was able to single through the right side and move to second on the throw, putting a pair in scoring position for Rose. Rose delivered with a two-run single through the left side to add to the Tide lead. (7-1, Alabama)
• T6 | The Aggies pulled back in front with seven runs on four hits, a walk and two errors. (8-7, Texas A&M)
• B7 | An error to start the inning put Williamson on with the first baseman advancing to second on a sac bunt. After a pop fly went for out No. 2, Eblin tied things up with an RBI-single. Two consecutive walks followed to load them up for William Hamiter, with the junior delivering a two-run single up the middle to give the Tide the lead once again. (10-8, Alabama)
• T8 | A leadoff double followed by a single for the Aggies cut the lead to one. (10-9, Alabama)
