Who Will Alabama Baseball Host in the Super Regional? Live Blog

Alabama baseball advanced to next weekend's Super Regional round for the first time since 2023 by going 3-0 in this past weekend's Tuscaloosa Regional. The Crimson Tide boatraced Alabama State on Friday, held onto a slim lead on Saturday against USC Upstate and came from behind to beat Oklahoma State on Sunday to claim the regional championship.

The Crimson Tide drew the No. 7 seed and therefore earned the right to host the Super Regional round for the first time since 2006.

"I'm really excited for Tuscaloosa," Alabama head coach Rob Vaughn said. "I kind of called the crowd out a little bit last night, and we might not have had the numbers at the beginning, but those guys were rocking. That's what it's supposed to look like. They were into it. They were fighting with us, and you could feel it. These guys could feel it. Now fortunate enough to run this back one more weekend. As exciting as this is, the job's not done. These guys know that. So it's time to turn our attention to whoever comes next and have a great week of practice. We're going to be one of 16 teams still getting to play baseball in the month of June. Pretty dang exciting. Now it's time to go punch that ticket to Omaha next weekend."

Who's traveling to Tuscaloosa to take on Alabama for the right to go to Omaha? St. John's and Florida State square off on Monday at 11 a.m. CT in the first game of the Tallahassee Regional Championship.

The Red Storm defeated the Seminoles in the opening game of the Tallahassee Regional 6-5. Florida State eliminated Coastal Carolina and Northern Illinois on Saturday and Sunday to stay alive and advance to Monday's game. The Seminoles need to beat the Red Storm twice in order to advance, while St. John's just needs one win to move on.
