Alabama redshirt junior pitcher Tyler Fay earned numerous honors on Tuesday after recording the ninth no-hitter in Crimson Tide program history on March 20. Fay's Friday night outing helped Alabama claim a 6-0 win over the Florida Gators, setting the tone for the Crimson Tide's series sweep.

Fay set new career highs in innings pitched and strikeouts, fanning 13 batters over the nine innings and only walking two Gators. He became Alabama's first pitcher since Eddie Owcar in 1942 to throw an individual no-hitter.

After finishing the fourth spring practice, Paul W. “Bear” Bryant admitted that the game was likely to be moved. Alabama will have 15 starters back from the previous squad which finished second in the final polls. “We have a few winners on this team. Offensively, Dwight Stephenson, Jim Bunch, Jeff Rutledge, Major Ogilvie, Steve Whitman and Tony Nathan look like they want to win,” Bryant said. “Wayne Hamilton, E.J. Junior, Marty Lyons and Barry Krauss look like winners on defense." – Bryant Museum
