Just three days after A-Day for his football team, Saban traded the football field for the pitcher's mound, opening Tuesday's game with a pitch to Crimson Tide baseball senior Garrett McMillan.

On the diamond, Alabama has won five of its last seven games, including a series win over Auburn and a weekend sweep of Missouri on the road to stay firmly in the projected NCAA Tournament field. Alabama will travel to Baton Rouge to face LSU in a weekend series to resume SEC play. The next home series for the Crimson Tide will be when Vanderbilt comes to town from May 4-6.
