The Alabama Crimson Tide played top ranked Texas toe to toe on Friday, Saturday, and for six innings on Sunday, but could not pull out any wins losing 1-0, 2-0, and 6-1 to fall to 5-3 on the season. The Tide pitching staff did about all they could but the offense was not able to offer much support during the series. The Friday and Saturday games were played in cold, damp, and windy conditions while Sunday was coolish, but at least the sun was shining.
Game One - Lost 1-0
Alabama started junior right hander Garrett McMillian on the mound on Friday against Texas lefty Pete Hansen, who was an All American last year after going 9-1 with an ERA of 1.
