Live Blog: No. 15 Alabama Baseball at No. 9 LSU (Game Two)

The No. 15 Alabama baseball team faces a do-or-die situation in Friday night’s game at No. 9 LSU (33-6, 11-5 SEC). If Rob Vaughn’s team loses, it will have dropped its last three SEC series in a row.

The Crimson Tide (30-9, 8-8 SEC) was up 5-1 halfway through six innings in Thursday’s opener. A series of momentum swings and an LSU power surge led the Tigers to a comeback victory and an advantage in the series.

Crimson Tide left fielder Kade Snell hit two home runs in game one. Catcher Brady Neal, an LSU transfer, and center fielder Richie Bonomolo Jr. added solos of their own.

For the first time in the 2025 season, Riley Quick will get the ball before Zane Adams. Adams is set to start Saturday, Quick goes on Friday. Alabama changed up its rotation due to the short turnaround that comes with starting a weekend series on a Thursday.

The game is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. CT. It will air nationally on ESPN2.
