Alabama Baseball is heading to the Tallahassee Regional

The Alabama Baseball team entered the SEC Tournament as an NCAA Tournament bubble team which wasn't helped when the Crimson Tide dropped its opening matchup against South Carolina. The Crimson Tide could've eased their nerves but, they didn't wait long to hear their names called as the Tide is headed to Tallahassee as their season continues.

This marks the first time in ten years that the Alabama Baseball program is in the tournament for back-to-back seasons. This also marks the first season in which Rob Vaughn has led the Crimson Tide after he replaced Brad Bohannon this off-season.

The hosting Florida State Seminoles, Stetson Hatters, and the UCF Knights will join the Crimson Tide. The Seminoles are the 8th overall seed in the tournament while Stetson won the Atlantic-Ten to get here and UCF had an impressive year in the Big 12 losing in the Semifinal of the conference.

The SEC was stacked this season with 11 regional teams a new record and five of the top eight teams in the tournament. Five teams including the Alabama baseball team finished with a 13-17 regular season record and got into the NCAA Tournament showing how strong the conference was this season.

Alabama Baseball: Time to go on a run

The Alabama Baseball team struggled down the end of the season dropping two of their final three regular-season series and losing to South Carolina in game one of the SEC Tournament. The Crimson Tide, however, have gotten into the NCAA Tournament and they have the talent to do serious damage in the NCAA Tournament. If the pitching staff can find its groove in the week to come no one would be surprised to see Alabama Baseball playing in Super Regionals. Regionals are a double-elimination format among the four teams that made it to the regionals. Alabama will face off against UCF on May 31st with the regional concluding on June 3rd.
