Going into Friday’s quarterfinal elimination round, the Crimson Tide baseball team felt like they had done enough to earn a top 16 seed and be a host team in the NCAA Tournament.
Fortunately, the work was done prior to Friday night, because the Tide could never get in a rhythm or any momentum going in their quarterfinal match up with Vanderbilt. The Commodores put up five runs in the top of the 1st and coasted to a 9-2 win.
With a 40-18 overall record, 18 wins against SEC teams, and an a No. 9 RPI, the Tide appears to be a lock in to host a regional next weekend.
