A wild matinee had it all: two different three-run rallies, a handful of launched home runs and a coach’s ejection. In the end, a raucous crowd at David F. Couch
NICK ALVAREZ al.com Ballpark saw one-seed Wake Forest take game one of the NCAA Super Regional over No. 16 Alabama, 5-4.
Saturday’s back-and-forth contest began two hours later than scheduled due to a “non-game-related medical emergency," just after 1:15 p.m. CST. When it did start on ESPN+, the fireworks came early. People are also reading… Alabama rallied with a few home runs of its own. Long balls by Caden Rose and Colby Shelton silenced the home crowd, if only briefly, and popped the rows of UA fans behind the visiting dugout. The latter of which came in a two-out rally. Lowder, the nation’s No. 2 pitcher according to ERA , allowed three earned runs for just the fourth time this season.
In the bottom of the fifth, Wake Forest designated hitter Danny Corona appeared to strike out but a check-swing review extended his at-bat. He then sent the next pitch over the hedges in right field to make it 4-3 Demon Deacons. While he rounded the bases, the umpires ejected Alabama assistant coach Matt Reida, who had been arguing the call.
