Road to Omaha
If the Cowboys were to win the regional in Tuscaloosa, they would move on to the Super Regional next week and face the winner of the Tallahassee Regional. The Tallahassee Regional includes Florida State, St. John’s, Coastal Carolina and Northern Illinois.
The winners of the Tuscaloosa and Tallahassee Regionals will face off in the best-of-three Super Regional that would take place June 5-8, at a site to be determined.
Whoever wins the Super Regional would then advance to the College World Series in Omaha. The College World Series will take place on June 12 at Charles Schwab Field.
