The Alabama Crimson Tide will host the Vanderbilt Commodores for a three-game set beginning on Thursday night.
The Tide enter the matchup with an overall record of 29-16 (10-11 SEC). Alabama has struggled throughout April, but a potential series victory over Vanderbilt would prove to be massive for the Tide in gaining some momentum prior to the postseason.
Here are three bold predictions for Alabama’s series vs. Vanderbilt in Tuscaloosa.
Fay has been one of the lone bright spots for the Tide throughout the second half of April. The star pitcher will be on the mound for the series opener against the Commodores on Thursday evening, as Fay will look to set the tone early despite facing a talented Vanderbilt lineup.
Fay surrendered four earned runs over five innings during Alabama’s victory over Tennessee last weekend, as the star flamethrower will look to get the Tide back in the win column on Thursday.
Hines has been red hot at the plate throughout the past few weeks of play. The star freshman currently holds a .281 batting average on the year, as Hines went 2-for-5 with a towering home run in the sixth inning of last Friday’s contest in Knoxville.
Hines will look to keep things rolling against Vanderbilt, as the talented hitter continues to shine throughout the month of April.
Lebron has been widely regarded as one of the top players in college baseball this season despite struggling lately. The star shortstop was a non-factor against Tennessee, as Lebron has gone ice cold at the plate recently despite still batting .264 on the season.
Lebron could quickly begin to heat up once again this weekend against the Commodores, as Lebron has had an elite season despite the recent slide.
Alabama will begin their three-game set vs. Vanderbilt on Thursday evening at 6 p.m. CT, as the Tide will look to bounce back following the series loss in Knoxville.
