Ohio State baseball had a crushing defeat on Sunday, blowing a 10-0 lead to Alabama in the Jax College Baseball Classic in Jacksonville, Florida. On top of that, the Buckeyes had to deal with some more sportsmanship from the Crimson Tide after the game. Now, though, at least one Crimson Tide player is apologizing for UA’s postgame actions.

Alabama players posed for a group photo all making an obscene gesture. The photo was posted on Snapchat with an explicit message directed at the Buckeyes.

Alabama pitcher Riley Quick took to X (formerly Twitter) to apologize for taking and posting the photo. He says he is reaching out to Ohio State.

“After our game today, we let our emotions get the best of us and posted an inappropriate photo on social media. The photo never should have happened, let alone be posted,” Quick wrote in the posted note “I am reaching out to Ohio State to personally apologize. I also want to apologize for representing the University of Alabama in a negative way. This is now what our team is about. We have learned from this and will be better going forward.”

Ohio State led 10-0 in the middle of the 4th inning. Alabama won the game 12-10 on a walk-off 3-run home run.
