In what was the final weekend of the regular season, the Alabama Crimson Tide traveled to Gainesville, Florida this past week for one final conference series before the SEC Tournament.

Starting on Thursday night, Alabama squared off with the Florida Gators in a ranked SEC baseball series where big stakes were attached for both programs, in particular when it comes to potentially hosting a regional in the NCAA Tournament.

However, it would be Florida who ended with the final word in Game 1 on Thursday night, eventually coming away with a 7-6 victory.

In the loss, Alabama originally jumped out to an early lead behind a solid start from right-hander Tyler Fay, holding a 5-0 advantage after the third inning following home runs from Richie Bonomolo Jr. and Justin Lebron. However, the Crimson Tide still held a lead late, but saw the Gators claim a 7-6 advantage in the seventh which they would never give up.

Friday, Alabama however bounced back in a big way during Game 2, coming away with an impressive 9-6 victory.

Led by a solid start from Riley Quick in which he allowed only two runs with seven strikeouts over five innings, the story for Alabama was likely the offense however, headlined by a five-run fifth inning. Included in this inning was a big three RBI double from Brady Neal, which built a sizable lead for the Crimson Tide.

With both teams splitting the two games, it set up a decisive rubber-match Game 3 on Saturday, one in which the Gators eventually came away with a 9-3 victory to take the series. In the loss, Alabama fell behind early, and never were able to erase that deficit, in part due to a five-run fifth inning.

With these results, Alabama concludes the regular season with a 40-15 overall record, as well as a 16-14 mark in SEC play. The Crimson Tide's next game will come in the 2025 SEC Tournament this week in Hoover.
