TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama baseball began its annual Fall World Series on Thursday afternoon at Sewell-Thomas Stadium with things ending in favor of Crimson, 6-4.
The opening half of the two-day event featured strong pitching performances from Landon Green and Brock Guffey. Green got the start for the Gray squad, tossing 3.0 scoreless frames with three punchouts. Guffey entered in relief for Crimson and was dealing. The junior struck out five across his 3.1 scoreless innings while allowing just one hit.
Crimson's offensive output was highlighted by a two-run home run from Jackson Tate. The junior contributed two hits, two RBI and a pair of runs in game one to go with his roundtripper. The Gray team registered a pair of extra-base hits with both Sam Praytor and Will Patota doubling in the game. The double was part of Patota's game-high three hits.
Alabama will wrap up the Fall World Series on Friday afternoon at The Joe. Game two of the continuous series will begin with a 6-4 score. The Gray squad will call on left-hander Connor Prielipp while Crimson counters with fellow southpaw Antoine Jean.
In compliance with guidelines due to COVID-19, admission to Alabama baseball's on-field activity is closed to the public. Gates to Sewell-Thomas Stadium will not be open and fans are strictly prohibited from entering the facility.
