The Joe wasn’t just loud in Tuscaloosa—it was ready.
After Myles Upchurch finished the first inning of his postseason debut with a strikeout. the stands surged behind the freshman right-hander. He didn’t have to carry the whole moment alone, either. Alabama’s defense backed him immediately. fielding the first two outs of the half and setting the tone for a weekend the Crimson Tide has treated like a final exam.

Because Alabama has stayed with its starting rotation, the decision on Sunday is equally straightforward. Myles Upchurch—who has gone 8-3 at Alabama—will get the start. The freshman’s standout run is reflected in his 39-19 line as a young cornerstone for the program.

Is this the game where Alabama wins like 10-0? I saw “regional crown” and figured it’s over already.
ESPN+ only? That’s kinda annoying. Also why is the TV channel listed TBD like cmon, people have plans.
Oklahoma State is the 2-seed but Alabama is seeded 7? So Alabama is actually better then, right? Like numbers don’t always mean stuff.
I don’t care what seed they are, freshman pitcher Myles Upchurch starting sounds like a bad idea if he’s still getting used to pressure. Plus it says 39-19 re the Joe… what is that even? Anyway if they’ve been 2-0 all weekend they’ll probably mess up in the 7th inning.
