TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — 7-seeded Alabama baseball made history by sweeping St. John's in the Tuscaloosa Super Regional to qualify for the program's first appearance in the College World Series since 1999.

The Crimson Tide will play in one of two four-team double-elimination pods in Omaha at Charles Schwab Field as they stand among the final eight teams in the NCAA Tournament field.

West Virginia, Troy, North Carolina, and Ole Miss make up one pod, while Alabama is in the second pod with Georgia, Texas, and Oklahoma. The Crimson Tide will open play on Saturday against the Sooners at 3 p.m. EST.

"It's so much hard work from these guys," Alabama coach Rob Vaughn said after qualifying. "It's so much consistency and dedication and growth from these guys to get you to these moments. It couldn't happen to a better group, a better group of coaches. I think about Jason Jackson, that's the first guy that comes to mind. I've been with Pap and Mo for a long time, but a guy in JJ who coming in, that guy could've gone anywhere he wanted and chose to give us a chance and chose to believe in us and stay here. This guy's been building this place way longer than we have. I know we get a lot of credit for this and that's all well and good, but JJ's been pouring his heart and soul into this place for years, and that guy deserves it more than anybody."
