Overview

  • Alabama was eliminated from the SEC Tournament following a 15-10 loss to Tennessee in the second round on May 21.
  • The Crimson Tide held a one-run lead midway through the fifth inning before the Volunteers' offense surged to secure the win.
  • Aeden Finateri made his first SEC Tournament start for Alabama, giving up early runs before the bullpen struggled to contain Tennessee's bats.
  • The game, originally scheduled for the morning, was delayed to approximately 1 p.m. CT due to weather-related schedule adjustments.
  • Alabama now awaits the NCAA Tournament selection announcement on May 25 to learn if it will host a Regional, with its 41-16 record and strong RPI potentially bolstering its case.
