TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Friday game between Alabama and Ball State has been moved up to a 1 p.m. CT start at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.

The two teams were originally scheduled for a 3 p.m. first pitch on Friday but the threat of rain later in the afternoon forced the move. Games two and three of the series between the Crimson Tide and Cardinals will remain as scheduled.

Fans can catch the series opener live on SEC Network+.
