That did not prove a factor in the Crimson Tide's elimination by No. 16 national seed Southern Miss (45-15) on Saturday, as most of both teams' runs came from the long ball. All of the Crimson Tide's did.

Junior catcher Will Plattner's first homer of the season couldn't have come at a better time for Alabama baseball.

The Crimson Tide suffer a one run loss, failing to get a run home despite loading the bases in the final inning.
