No. 2 Alabama Opens Kentucky Series at Rhoads Stadium

The series tests Alabama’s response to a midweek upset with seeding stakes in a tight SEC.

Overview

Alabama, 39-4 overall and 12-3 in the SEC, hosts Kentucky at 5 p.m. CT Friday on ESPN2 to begin a three-game set.
Saturday and Sunday games start at 1:30 p.m. CT on SEC Network+ and ESPN+, with all three played at Rhoads Stadium in Tuscaloosa.
The Crimson Tide swept Auburn last weekend, then fell 3-2 to Samford on Tuesday in Birmingham in a rare stumble.
Pitchers Jocelyn Briski and freshman Vic Moten headline Alabama’s staff, while Jena Young earned SEC Player of the Week, Moten took SEC Freshman of the Week, and Alexis Pupillo has reached base in 39 straight games.
Kentucky is 25-22 and 1-17 in league play with a 17-game SEC skid, a 4.17 team ERA, and a .963 fielding rate with 48 errors, which has put its postseason outlook in doubt.
