TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- 7-seeded Alabama baseball opens NCAA Tournament Super Regional action in Tuscaloosa on Saturday against the St. John's Red Storm. The Crimson Tide is hosting the Super Regional round for the first time since 2006 and is looking to return to the College World Series in Omaha for the first time since 1999. The Red Storm appears in the Super Regional round for the first time since 2012 and hasn't been to Omaha since 1980.

"Yeah, the hay's in the barn, man," Alabama head coach Rob Vaugh said. "It's time to go. These guys have been putting in a lot of work since we showed up in August, and for these guys, multiple years to go put themselves in the position that they're standing in right now. Now this is the fun part. The work's over. Everything's done. Now it's about going out and executing. We've got a tough team on the other side. We've got a tough group of dudes on our sides. We know it's going to be a war, but I think these guys are ready for it. At this point, man, I'm excited for them to go out and send their stuff, play hard, and be completely unafraid to crash and burn. That's been our message for the last year. That's been our message for the last half of the year that they've been living out. So, it's go time. It's time to rock and roll."

• 7:08 p.m. - The starting lineups are out and Jon Lemm is still DH-ing after breaking a finger last weekend, and Peyton Steele is IN the lineup after tweeking his hamstring on Sunday against Oklahoma State for Alabama.

• 6:59 p.m. - Right field is filling up fast and looks at about 90-percent capacity. Impressive support from the Crimson Tide faithful as we're still over an hour from first pitch. St. John's is currently taking batting practice and getting a feel for Sewell-Thomas Stadium as the country music is pumping through the loud speakers.
