Alabama Baseball's College World Series Central: Schedule, How to Watch, Bracket Breakdown

OMAHA, Neb. — No. 7-seeded Alabama made program history by qualifying for the College World Series for the first time since 1999 in head coach Rob Vaughn's third season. The Crimson Tide qualified by sweeping both the regional and super regional rounds of the NCAA Tournament and is now thrust into a four-team pod along with Oklahoma, Georgia, and Texas for the right to play in the championship series.

"What an incredible job for this fan base and this town to get behind those kids," Vaughn said. "So huge that it started there and then, man, just a lot of hard work goes into it from our coaching staff to these players, and I think the most rewarding part of that whole thing for me was seeing guys celebrate together at the end. You know whether it's your starting shorts stop or whether it's your backup pitcher that doesn't ever throw, like, seeing those guys embracing and crying and and that moment is those are the moments through all of this stuff that you just won't forget, and super rewarding that we have a chance to to go be one of the final eight teams playing and that's what we said, man. We go this far, might as well just keep winning."

Series: The Crimson Tide is 1-7 all time against the Texas Longhorns, dating back to the first matchup in 1983. Alabama is 1-2 against the Longhorns since Texas moved into the Southeastern Conference in 2024.

Last Meeting: Texas defeated Alabama two games to one in a weekend series in the middle of April. Alabama struck out 49 times across the three games, but did take the Sunday matchup 2-1 to avoid being swept.

Last time out, Alabama: The Crimson Tide swept St. John's in the Tuscaloosa Super Regional behind two strong performances by starting pitchers Tyler Fay and Zane Adams. Alabama endured a 17-hour rain delay in game two and saw senior Jason Torres hit a seventh-inning grand slam to eliminate the Red Storm and advance to the College World Series for the first time since 1999. However, it opened with the College World Series with an uncharacteristic 9-0 loss to Oklahoma.

Last time out, Texas: The Longhorns ace Dylan Volantis took the ball against the Georgia Bulldogs and gave up four runs in the first inning. Designated hitter Ethan Mendoza got Texas' only RBI in the fifth inning, cutting Georgia's lead to 4-1, but that's as close as the Longhorns got as the Bulldogs won 7-1 to stay in the winner's side of the College World Series bracket.
