Bramblett’s Complete Game Lifts Alabama Baseball Past Ole Miss, 6 -1

Sophomore Geoffrey Bramblett led the Alabama baseball team to a 6-1 win over Ole Miss in the opening round of the 2015 SEC Tournament on Tuesday morning. The Crimson Tide starter tossed his second career complete game in as many chances during the postseason.

Bramblett allowed a season-high tying nine hits, but the Rebels could not string them together for more than one run by day’s end. The sophomore recorded a career-high 10 strikeouts and did not allow a free pass in the start for the second time this season.

The pitching effort was matched by a clutch hitting effort from the Crimson Tide bats. By day’s end, the offense collected 11 total hits, eight of which came with two outs. Alabama was led by multi-hit efforts from Casey Hughston, Mikey White and J.C. Wilhite. Hughston knocked a double while collecting a team-high two RBI by day’s end.

With the win, Alabama advances to the double-elimination portion of the tournament. The Tide will begin play against the No. 3 seeded Texas A&M Aggies tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m. CT inside the Hoover Met with the game airing on the SEC Network.
