Alabama Baseball completed a three-game sweep over Xavier at Sewell-Thomas Stadium on Sunday afternoon to start the season off at an undefeated 3-0.

The Alabama Crimson Tide seemed down and out at the plate for eight straight innings today against the Xavier Musketeers. Until suddenly, it didn't.

Previewing the season-opening series versus the Xavier Musketeers, can Alabama start off on a good note in 2022?

Baseball coach Brad Bohannon noted in his opening statements during media availability on Thursday that the Crimson Tide was a little newer on the mound this season. However, the two catching transfers Alabama brought in this season should help this new staff grow and create a powerful battery for the Tide.

One challenge the baseball program has constantly faced are the NCAA's limitation of scholarships. The NCAA allows programs up to 11.7 athletic scholarships for a roster of close to 40 athletes, placing a financial burden on most players and their families.

Coach Bohannon previews 2022 season, the Xavier series this weekend, and how to have success in the SEC with Gary Harris .

The Alabama Crimson Tide (16-12) lost its midweek contest to the Louisiana Monroe Warhawks (11-14) 5-3. Alabama has now lost nine of its last 10 outings after defeating then No. 1 Arkansas on the road.

The Tide will once again be without ace pitcher Connor Prielipp as the team takes on Tennessee in a home series this weekend. Bama baseball is currently 1-5 in SEC play and has lost six games straight. Prielipp pitched the opening game on February 19th with a 0.00 ERA in 5 innings and has not played a single game since.

The Crimson Tide took it to the Hogs in Fayetteville, winning 16-1.

After a 12 inning pitching duel, Alabama earns its first win of their weekend series and improves the overall record to 13-3. Check out the recap below:
