Score updates and analysis from Sewell-Thomas Stadium as the Crimson Tide tries to sweep the No. 5 Tigers.
The Crimson Tide has continued to play its best baseball of the season this weekend. First, a Friday night run-rule victory where the No. 5 Tigers were held to just three hits. Then, a thrilling 3-2 victory off a Bryce Fowler walk-off double that gave Alabama its first series win over Butch Thompson's squad since 2023.
Myles Upchurch takes the mound for the Sunday finale, set to begin at 1 p.m. CT. The freshman is 3-2 with a 3.97 ERA over six starts this season, with 34 strikeouts over 22.2 innings pitched. He's struggled in his two SEC starts, going 3.2 innings against Kentucky and then getting ran off the diamond after recording just one out against Florida last week. Upchurch faced six batters in that game, giving up a hit and walking four of them. Tensions flared in Saturday's game, as Thompson and Rob Vaughn contested a batter's box review and Brennan Holt got heated with Auburn's Brandon McCraine on a ninth-inning double. The stage is set for another highly emotional battle on Sunday as the Crimson Tide looks to cap off a perfect weekend and Auburn looks to avoid the embarrassment of a sweep to its rival.Alabama has kept its lineup unchanged throughout the series. Same lineup once again as Alabama looks to sweep Auburn. I just got out of church and am on my way to The Joe.
