Opening day at the Joe. Looks like a good student crowd out there in right field, though it's a little sparse elsewhere. Still time for some to arrive and it's not exactly a warm evening in Tuscaloosa, so there's that.
Presbyterian isn't a mid-major power but they won't be a walkover. They return two of their weekend starters from last year (tonight's starter, LHP Brian Kehner, had an ERA under 3.00 last season) and also have five or six regulars from last year's team back. It'll be a few weeks before we get a good idea of where Alabama stands in the SEC but this isn't a nobody team.
Here's the Alabama lineup:
1. SS Chandler Avant
2. 2B Cobie Vance
3. 1B Hunter Alexander
4. RF Chandler Taylor
5. 3B Connor Short
6. LF Sam Finnerty
7. DH Cody Henry
8. C Kyle Kaufman
9. CF Gene Wood
RHP Nick Eicholtz
