Last night, Alabama baseball beat the nation's No. 2 team, South Carolina, 2-1 to propell the squad into the SEC Tournament next week. The win improved Alabama's record to 32-22 overall and 14-14 in SEC play, leading the Western Division.
Senior right hander Nathan Kilcrease held the Gamecocks to a season-low five hits and allowed just a single run in the victory at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. It was his second complete game of the season and the 21st win of his career.
"You never want to go out as a senior class and not make it to the SEC Tournament," Kilcrease said following the game. "That's what was in the back of my mind the whole game: getting us to the tournament."
Alabama and South Carolina continue their series tonight at Sewell-Thomas stadium at 6:35 p.m. and the final game is Saturday at 12:05 p.m. The 2011 SEC Baseball Tournament will be held May 25-29 at Regions Park Stadium in Hoover, AL. More info on the tournament and how the final weekend of play will affect it can be found over at Team Speed Kills.

thanks for the Baseball update. I was concerned about us getting left out of the tourney of we had been swept by SC. Kilcrease threw the game of his life last night to make sure that did not happen. Even though we are a poor hitting team we still have some great pitchers and you just never know what might happen in the tourney.
If Auburn was in New Mexico and we never played them I would still hate them and their dumb coach and their cheating players.
Big win...
