'Bama v. Florida State Open Thread

PrintAfter opening the NCAA Tournament with a 6-3 win over Central Florida last night, Alabama will take on host Florida State tonight in Tallahassee. A ten strikeout performance from Nathan Kilcrease helped Alabama advance to the winners bracket, and Mitch Gaspard will hope for the same kind of performance tonight out of Adam Morgan. Meanwhile, the Seminoles advanced to the winners bracket after narrowly edging out Bethune Cookman 6-5 yesterday, and they will send junior Sean Gilmartin to the mound.
For better or for worse, the winner of tonight's game will be the odds-on favorite to advance to the Super Regionals next weekend, and 'Bama needs the win badly tonight if the legitimately expect to advance. The game is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. central time, so chime in here with all of your thoughts and comments on the action. Click here to watch live.
Editor's Note: There was a slight rain delay earlier today in Tallahassee, which will move the start time of the 'Bama v. FSU game back a bit. First pitch is 50 minutes after Central Florida v. Bethune-Cookman ends.

Reeves picked off first in the first……

Saved our bullpen yesterday. Morgan doesn’t look sharp right now.

Hate leaving runners on.
Still up 2-1 after 2 though.

4-2 top of 3rd
Had to mute FSU feed. “He cannot get the handle on the little round spheroid.”
It would certainly be nice
to hear Chris Stewart call it.

Great job coming back
with 4 hits in that inning.

MOrgan seems to be
settling down. 4-4 with Bama batting in the 4th.

Y’all are really leaning over the plate. Gil needs to establish inside or get the change down.
'11: Minimum Goal: Win 10 games again

That was a FANTASTIC play
by Smith to get us out of that inning. Still 5-4 Bama. Coming to bat in bottom 5

Well, Morgan was grinding tonight
We’ve made too many mistakes. Wolfe comes on to pitch in the 6th with 2 outs. Down 8-5
Meet it is I set it down that one may smile, and smile, and be a villain--Hamlet, I, v
Wolfe loses the strike zone and gets a quick hook
Pilkington coming on to pitch. Still 2 outs in the 6th with 2 on for FSU. Bama down 8-5

Correction: bases loaded for FSU
And these Sun Sports announcers are killing me. They are horrendous

Bats go silent in bottom of 6th
Down 8-5 and heading to the 7th, we need to have a quick half-inning and get back in to the plate and do something. Gilmartin’s gotten comfortable for them and is dealing now.

we need to chase Gilmartin
and get on the pen. He’s got to be over 100.
We got the quick half-inning
but have 2 outs in bottom of 7th. We do have runners on 1st and 2nd though. And you’re right. We have got to get Gilmartin out of the game.

Hope that that wasn't our last chance
Bama strands 2 runners after a nice play by FSU’s SS. Still down 8-5 and heading to the 8th.

Shit
I hate walks
Meet it is I set it down that one may smile, and smile, and be a villain--Hamlet, I, v
We REALLY need to pick up a couple
here in the 8th if we want a realistic chance of coming back. Can’t leave it all for the 9th. At least Gilmartin’s out.

Damn
That’s a big ol’ young’un on the mound there.

I'm afraid that may be all for the good guys
Going to the 9th down 5-9.

Well, shit.
Bama loses 9-5. Tough road now. We play UCF at 11 tomorrow.

9-5 Final
It probably wouldn’t have mattered but that was a terrible call
