TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama paired another big offensive night with a solid start from Jacob McNairy for a 10-2 victory over Troy on Tuesday at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. With the win, the Crimson Tide is now 22-8 on the season.

Alabama recorded 10 hits and drew eight walks on the way to 10 runs. The offense crossed at least one run in five innings, highlighted by a five-run fourth. Troy was able to plate single tallies in both the fifth and sixth but would get no closer. The Tide was led once again by Tommy Seidl, who finished 3-for-3 with an RBI and one run scored. Bryce Eblin paced UA in RBI with three while seven total hitters contributed one RBI on the night.

Jacob McNairy (4-1) picked up the win, tossing 4.2 innings of one-run baseball. He allowed three hits and issued no walks while striking out four. The bullpen then combined for the final 4.1 frames, limiting the Trojans to just three hits and a run while striking out three.

From Head Coach Brad Bohannon
"Jacob McNairy gave us a great start and the guys out of the pen were really sharp. We had a lot of production up and down the lineup. We scored five of the eight times we batted. We got a lot of guys in the game, which I've been wanting to do. So, I'm really proud of our club, we really played well. This was a good game for us to build some momentum going into a big weekend.
