Alabama baseball’s run in the NCAA tournament ended after a 22-5 loss to one-seed Wake Forest. The Crimson Tide had no answer for Wake Forest’s power, allowing nine home runs
A season that could’ve ended in disgrace proved to be one of Alabama’s best in over a decade. UA was 30-15 when Brad Bohannon was fired amid a gambling scandal on May 4. Under interim coach Jason Jackson, the turnaround was swift. Days after the scandal broke, the Tide took two of three from Vanderbilt. It eventually played itself into hosting a regional with a 13-4 stretch and the first 40-win season since 2010.

Nick Kurtz and Brock Wilken, two of Wake Forest’s best hitters who had been in a slump, went back-to-back in the opening inning of Tide starter Jacob McNairy. On Wilken’s blast, his first of three, the Tide outfielders barely moved as the ball sailed over their heads.
Yet, Wake Forest starter Josh Hartle eventually limited the damage, retiring nine of 12 batters after Shelton’s shot. And McNairy couldn’t match. Neither could Kade Woods, who replaced McNairy after six outs and allowed back-to-back home runs to Danny Corona and Bennett Lee.
