Alabama’s Justin Lebron Exits After Hard Tag in Opener

The team awaits a concussion assessment from trainer Sean Stryker.

Overview

  • Lebron was hit high by South Carolina first baseman Will Craddock on a tag in the seventh inning and went down face-first.
  • Trainers treated him on the field before he reached third base and was then removed as a precaution.
  • He later returned to the dugout in the ninth inning after leaving the game.
  • Head coach Rob Vaughn said Lebron "felt fine" and that the hit "rung his bell a bit."
  • The program says it will follow concussion protocol and is awaiting Stryker’s formal evaluation after an 8-3 opening win at South Carolina.
