RICHMOND, Va. - The struggles continue for the Alabama Hammers. The Hammers fell behind, rallied, then faded in a 54-29 loss before 2,505 fans in the Richmond Coliseum on Saturday night.
Alabama quarterback Bill Ashburn completed 22 of 45 passes for 237 yards and four touchdowns, while former UNA receiver Charles McClain caught 11 passes for 105 and three touchdowns.
