The Ohio Casino Control Commission halted bets involving the University of Alabama after a report of 'suspicious wagering activity' related to Friday's game against LSU.
It was not immediately clear what prompted the halt or how long the order would remain in place. The Tigers held a seven-run lead in Friday’s game before a late rally in the ninth inning narrowed the score to 8-6. Sophomore pitcher Hagan Banks allowed four runs on three hits and a walk with three strikeouts across three innings.

"Hagan Banks did a good job, especially for finding out an hour before the game that he was going to start," Bohannon said, via the team’s website. "Kade Woods then did a great job of getting us to the middle of the game and having us within striking distance. We obviously didn't pitch well enough out of the bullpen at the end. If we pitch a lot better from the sixth inning on, it's a different ballgame.
