Alabama fell 9-3 in game three on Saturday against Florida, resulting in the Tide dropping the series against the Gators and bringing the regular season to a close.
Perhaps the most important thing happening is Alabama baseball making its SEC Tournament run for the first time since 2016 and playing in the winners bracket Thursday taking on 6th seed Florida. Statistically speaking, Bama needs one more conference win to get to that sweet spot of 15 total conference wins to make a run at the NCAA tournament.
Baseball America, a predominant publication in the world of college baseball, announced Tuesday in their latest predictions that Alabama will be one of the first four teams out of the NCAA Tournament.
According to Rick Pendley, Vice President of Alabama’s baseball booster organization, Alabama baseball is officially Hoover bound for the SEC Tournament. The announcement comes after a Missouri loss paired with an inevitable Auburn or Texas A&M series loss this coming weekend. Missouri will finish last in the SEC East and the loser of the Auburn/Texas A&M series this weekend will finish last in the SEC West standings.
