The Bears lead the Crimson Tide, 1-0, in the bottom of the 2nd.

After that 2-out rally by Alabama though it's 4-1 bama going into the 3rd.

Some lucky floating hits that just found spots

4-2, Alabama lead now, with Mercer still batting in the top of the 3rd

A nice 1-2-3 inning for French and Mercer gets another chance in the 4th. Hopefully Mercer can hit this new guy #44 for bama

Mercer has cut the lead to 4-3 in the top of the 6th.

5-3, Alabama lead, in the top of the 7th.

A rough call on Tanis with 2 out and 2 on in the 7th... called swinging on a full count when he checked his swing.

Still 6 outs left to find 2 runs...

This home plate umpire is killing the Bears with 2 bad calls in critical spots.

Do you think he is calling the game fairly or do you detect some BCS school favoritism?

I don't know if it's favoritism or just some bad calls, but that last one in the 9th looked like it was way off the plate and low. Did you see it?

No, I didn't. Sorry you guys got victimized by the ump. Great job winning the A-Sun this season, though, and I think you guys represented yourselves well in the Regional overall.
