MADISON, Ala. — Baseball fans, get ready for some NCAA action heating up Toyota Field this spring! The Alabama Crimson Tide is set to face off against the Belmont Bruins on Tuesday, March 26th. The first pitch will be thrown at 6:05 p.m., and if you want to get in on the action early, the Pepsi Gates open at 5 p.m.
Last season Alabama took down Middle Tennessee in Madison with a 10-4 victory, paving the way for them to host an NCAA Regional in Tuscaloosa and advance to Super Regionals. Rocket City Trash Pandas General Manager, Garrett Fahrmann, is excited to bring the team back.
“We’re thrilled to have the Tide returning to North Alabama. Their fans brought tremendous energy and packed the ballpark last year, so we’re looking forward to seeing plenty of crimson again," Fahrmann said.
