The 2018 Alabama baseball season opens up this weekend with a three-game series against Valparaiso as the Brad Bohannon era begins in Tuscaloosa.

First pitch for the season opener is set for 3:00 p.m. and it will be the first of seven straight home games to begin the year for the Crimson Tide. Whether you're able to make it to Sewell-Thomas Stadium or not, every fan can listen to live broadcasts for free through the Tide 102.9 app.

Friday's game will be one of a handful of exceptions this season. A few of the games will be played during live programming so Tide 102.9 will split and air local programming on the app and baseball on 102.9 FM in Tuscaloosa.
