Tide Turns! Bama Rallies to Stun Georgia, Eyes Hosting Spot After Gutsy Series Win

Rewritten Informal Article:
Things looked rough for Alabama baseball Friday night. They had just been smoked 19-3 by No. 6 Georgia, and game two was paused because of rain. But when play resumed on Sunday, the Crimson Tide flipped the script in a big way—winning 9-3 in the continued game, then grabbing the series with a tight 5-4 win later that day.

This was Bama’s first series win of the season after losing the opening game, and they did it in style. Georgia came in hot with six homers in game one, but head coach Rob Vaughn was pumped about how his guys bounced back. “We got bloodied in game one,” he said, “but like I knew they would, they responded.”

In the resumed game, Alabama extended their lead behind strong pitching from Riley Quick and timely homers from Bryce Fowler, Justin Lebron, and Richie Bonomolo Jr.—who dropped the hammer with a three-run blast.

Braylon Myers got the win in that game, and closer Carson Ozmer sealed the deal—twice. Not only did he get both Sunday saves, but he broke the program’s single-season saves record and now leads the entire country with 16.

In the series finale, Alabama jumped ahead 4-0 thanks to homers from Jason Torres and captain Kade Snell, who hit his 10th of the year. Georgia tried to claw back, with freshman Bryce Clavon smashing a home run in his first-ever start. A two-run shot from Dan Jackson in the sixth made it tight, but Ozmer shut it down, leaving the tying run stranded on second.

Zane Adams got the win in game three, tossing four solid innings. Coach Vaughn praised his resilience, saying those tough moments are gonna shape him into a future MLB guy.

This series win is massive for Bama’s postseason hopes. Beating a top-ranked Georgia team—especially after getting crushed in game one—shows this team has grit. If they can take care of business next weekend at Florida, they could lock in a spot to host a regional.

Coach Vaughn dropped a little Nick Saban wisdom too: “That rat poison won’t help us Thursday in Gainesville.” But with momentum on their side, Alabama looks ready to make some noise.
