Top-Ranked Challenge for Alabama as Tide Meets with Wake Forest in Super Regional Action

[Krymsonman]

Good inning for Holman. Gave up a hit, but got a couple of strike-outs. 3-1 Wake after 3.

That's what it looks like. Plus it's turf. Give me some real grass! It's only 400 to deal center and the wind is blowing straight out.

310 on the lines. The Joe might as well be the Astros stadium by comparison. We just got to keep hacking and it will leave the yard.

Wake isn’t winning the CWS. They are very good and very deep but when you play on short porch fields you are shocked in big stadiums like Omaha.

Tie ball game

 

[BhamToTexas]

Yes two run shot tie game!!

 

[CrimsonTitles]

Tie ballgame!

This is why I don’t want Vaughan as a HC. Everyone wants to tell me how he won the BIG twice at Maryland and how he did it with a limited NIL. Lowder ate their lunch and you saw it from pitch one. Alabama isn’t scared of this guy.

Hey, it's 310 to left, but only 300 down the right field line. Whole place just looks small.

It is. It’s why I didn’t feel this was a hopeless matchup like many did. Don’t get me wrong, we shouldn’t be playing them, and I’m thankful that we got them as opposed to TCU, Florida, or Tennessee, but we were improperly ranked. But I just don’t believe in schools that play in tiny ballparks winning it all. They run the risk of running into a power hitting team in the Supers and have a huge shock when they have to go into a stadium that plays huge.

 

[BhamToTexas]

Holman is settling in nicely.

 

[81usaf92]

Damn umpire gave them a run

 

[Krymsonman]

Wake gets a very shady homerun. The guy clearly struck out on the pitch before but the shady ump at 3rd said he didn't go. A BAMA assistant got tossed, and then shady ump kept staring into the dugout daring someone to say anything. Plus that homerun would have been a fly out to the track at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.

 

[CrimsonTitles]

Looks like Jackson got tossed, too.

 

[81usaf92]

These umpires are soft. They just tossed Jackson and the field coach for nothing

 

[81usaf92]

Yeah that’s a bit much. They just put Alabama to a 2 coach situation because they are so soft.

 

[Krymsonman]

Yeah, and that guy at third was looking to throw more out. Gutless ump. He blows the call, we pay for it.

 

[81usaf92]

Apparently Jackson is still there.

 

[81usaf92]

I mean at this point of the season you can’t make that call

 

[81usaf92]

Error costed us another run.

 

[Krymsonman]

Pitching change for BAMA. Holman did a great job, especially playing in this, as it was called, softball field.

 

[Krymsonman]

Wake gets a couple of hits but BAMA gets out of it. 5-3 Wake going to the 7th. Time to score some runs.
