• The Crimson Tide led 3-1 through four innings before Georgia erupted with 15 runs across the fifth and seventh innings, hitting six home runs in total.
• The second game was suspended due to rain with Alabama leading 6-2 in the top of the fifth inning; it is set to resume before Saturday’s series finale.
• Alabama’s repeated struggles in series openers have jeopardized its SEC series record and NCAA regional hosting chances, with five series losses in the past six weekends looming if the team cannot rebound.
