WARNER ROBINS -- Alabama didn’t really get its bats going Monday against Tennessee in the Little League Southeastern Regional tournament.

But with its pitching staff cruising, Alabama didn’t really need much offense.

Josh Lewis, Andrew Livingston and Kyle Chandler combined to allow six hits while striking out 11 as Alabama pulled out a 4-2 win. Alabama finishes pool play at 2-1, while Tennessee finishes at 0-3.

“Our pitching was really, really good,” Alabama manager Neal Pepper said. “We didn’t get the bats going a whole lot, but we pitched really well, and that was important.”

Lewis pitched the first 1-2/3 innings, and then Livingston took over and made it through two outs in the fifth inning. Chandler came in to get his team out of a bases-loaded, two-out jam, and he pitched a perfect sixth inning to finish off the game.

Livingston finished with nine strikeouts.

“When we pitch like that, we have a lot of confidence,” Chandler said.

While Alabama pitched well, it had to work hard for all of its runs.

Chandler led off the fourth inning with a double, his team’s second hit of the game, and four straight walks led to Alabama’s first two runs. Gabe Shepard gave Alabama the lead for the first time with a bases-loaded blooper to center field that turned into a fielder’s choice because the runner at second was thrown out trying to reach third base.

Tennessee pitcher C.J. Laws held Alabama in check for the first three innings, but he struggled throughout the fourth.

“We think the second time through we’re going to be able to hit these pitchers, and we got him a little bit and then got some walks,” Pepper said. “We thought we’d go ahead and score 10 runs, but we weren’t able to do that.”

Alabama did get one more big hit as Chandler ripped a solo home run to right-center field in the fifth. Alabama finished with only five hits.

“I guess I just caught it pretty good,” Chandler said with a smile. “It was a curveball, and I was able to hit it pretty hard.”
