OMAHA, Neb. − Alabama baseball will face Oklahoma in the opening round of the College World Series on Saturday at Charles Schwab Field. The Crimson Tide hasn’t reached the CWS in 27 years, but qualified in 2026 under third-year coach Rob Vaughn. The eight-team CWS field will vie for the NCAA Division I Baseball Championship throughout the week. Once the contenders are narrowed to two, the championship series will be June 20-22.
UA (42-19) dispatched St. Johns in hosting Super Regional action last weekend, winning 8-0 and 7-2 to sweep the Johnnies. Alabama faced Oklahoma in the regular season with a three-game series in Norman, Okla., and the Crimson Tide took two of three.
