Alabama - RPI 21, SOS 33, 26-11 (10-5), 5-6 Away
Tennessee - RPI 18, SOS 32, 24-11 (6-9), 17-4 Home
Alabama currently has the best record in the conference. They haven't had a "BAD" loss since February. They have had many good wins but a home sweep of Ole Miss takes the cake. They won both mid week games and took the Auburn series last weekend, at home, 2-1. Six of their eleven losses were road games.
PITCHING
Friday: Spencer Turnbull (Jr. RHP) 1.71 ERA, 4-2 w/l, 52.2 IP, 35 H, 12 R, 10 ER, 23 BB, 40 SO, BAA .194
Last year he was the Sunday starter and against us he went 7 IP, 9 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 1 SO, picked up the win in a brutal 15-1 game.
Saturday: Justin Kamplain (Jr. LHP) 3.57 ERA, 3-2 w/l, 53 IP, 38 H, 25 R, 21 ER, 17 BB, 51 SO, BAA .201
Obviously, that's a pretty good SO/BB ratio.
Last year he gave up 2 runs on 2 hits in 1.2 innings.
Sunday: Jon Keller (Jr. LHP) 1.86 ERA, 5-1 w/l, 53.1 IP, 43 H, 14 R, 11 ER, 10 BB, 38 SO, BAA .230
Last year he went 5 IP giving up 4 hits, 3 runs, 2 earned, 3 walks and 3 K's in a 7-6 loss.

Summary
I don't think anybody would have predicted that Alabama would be leading the SEC at the half way mark. Needless to say, this is a huge series for us at home. They have a more experienced pitching staff...it's kind of the same thing every week isn't it...
I've stopped thinking of winning the series and avoiding sweeps...every single win we can gather, we are going to need. We are 6-9 in the SEC with 15 SEC games to go and we need to get to double digit wins, probably 11 to have a chance at Hoover. Every game is going to have to be an all out, hold nothing back, dog fight.
It's one game at a time from here on out in my opinion. No better time to start than a home game with the Tide. We need to pack LNS this weekend, it's s'pose to be perfect weather last I checked.
GBO!!! BEAT BAMA!!!
