Alabama Baseball Nears Historic College World Series Berth

Crimson Tide aim for decisive victory over St. John's in Tuscaloosa

A milestone within reach

The Crimson Tide are one victory away from clinching a spot in the College World Series for the first time in nearly three decades, a milestone that has electrified the program.

On Sunday, Alabama will host St. John's in Game 2 of the Tuscaloosa Super Regional at Sewell‑Thomas Stadium, looking to extend the lead they built in the opener.

The previous night, the Tide rolled past the Red Storm 8‑0, with a decisive fourth inning that saw Bryce Fowler’s two‑run double spark a four‑run burst.

Brennan Holt contributed a two‑run double in the second inning, while Justin Lebron added a two‑run double in the eighth and finished with three hits, underscoring his all‑around impact.

Pitcher Tyler Fay was dominant, limiting St. John's to just two hits over 7 ⅓ innings and striking out nine batters, a performance that kept the opposition at bay.

Broadcast and streaming details

The game will be televised nationally on ESPN2, with live streaming available through ESPN+ and FUBO, the latter offering a free trial for new subscribers.

Fans can also tune into the Alabama radio feed on The Varsity App, SiriusXM channel 84, or on Tide 100.9 FM in Tuscaloosa.

First‑pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. Central Time, setting the stage for a potential historic moment for the program.

What the record means

Alabama enters the contest with a 41‑19 overall record and an 18‑12 mark in SEC play, numbers that reflect a season of steady growth and resilience.

A win would not only rewrite the narrative for the current squad but also mark the first College World Series appearance for the program since 1999, a feat that has eluded the Tide for almost three decades.
