Jason Torres’ Grand Slam Propels Alabama Toward Historic College World Series Berth

A 370‑foot blast against St. John's puts the Crimson Tide on the cusp of a long‑awaited return to the sport’s premier stage

Alabama’s baseball squad seized a commanding lead in the second game of their NCAA Super Regional in Omaha, Nebraska, after a decisive swing by sophomore slugger Jason Torres.

Torres launched a 370‑foot grand slam that cleared the right‑field stands, his ninth home run of the season, and drove in four runs to push the Crimson Tide ahead 7‑2.

The onslaught follows an 8‑0 victory over St. John's in the opener, a performance that has left the team just one win away from securing a spot in the College World Series for the first time since 1999.

Implications for the Postseason

With the momentum shifting, Coach Colin Gay and his staff are emphasizing discipline at the plate, knowing that a single win could rewrite the program’s recent history.
