KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Alabama was trailing the Tennessee Volunteers, 4-2, when severe weather hit Lindsey Nelson Stadium, halting game two of the series in the bottom of the sixth inning. Alabama and Tennessee will continue the game on Sunday at 11 a.m. CT. The final game of the series will be a seven inning affair and is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. CT.
Alabama took a 1-0 lead when Brett Booth hit his second home run of the season to lead off the third inning. The Crimson Tide added another run later in the inning, when Jared Reaves scored on a groundout by Austen Smith.
Tennessee scored all four of its runs in the fourth inning. An RBI double by Davis Morgan drove in Zach Luther from first, then a two-RBI single by Chris Fritts gave Tennessee a 3-2 lead. The fourth run of the inning came across on a sac fly by Zach Osborne for a 4-2 Vols lead.
Josh Rosecrans had just replaced Alabama starting pitcher Justin Kamplain when lightning struck near the stadium. Kamplain threw 5.1 innings, allowing four earned runs on seven hits with two walks, two hit batters and one strikeout.
For game three, the Crimson Tide is scheduled to start freshman lefty Jon Keller (0-0, 3.18 ERA), while Tennessee will counter with sophomore righty Nick Williams (2-2, 1.71 ERA).
