TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Alabama baseball team entered its sixth and final week of fall practice on Monday afternoon and will feature one more practice on Tuesday before the start of the team's "Steak and Beans" World Series on Thursday evening.
The Crimson Tide had its first full practice of the week on Monday and will follow suit with another practice this afternoon from 2-5:30 p.m. CT. Wednesday will be an open field day for the team before the start of the "Steak and Beans" World Series on Thursday running until Saturday. Thursday and Friday's first and second games of the series will begin at 3 p.m. CT, while Saturday's final game is set for a 10:30 a.m. CT first pitch. All three games will run a full nine innings, with the winners of the best-of-three series earning themselves a steak dinner.
Rosters for the game were selected on Monday evening following practice, with an even split for both teams. The Crimson squad will be headed by assistant coach Jake Wells, director of operations Michael Chadwick and manager Garrett Walters, while the White team will be led by associate head coach Terry Rooney, volunteer assistant coach Derek Simmons and strength and conditioning coach Lance Ancar. Alabama head coach Greg Goff is the commissioner of the event and is a neutral party during the series.
Prior to the start of week six, the Crimson Tide visited the Miracle League of Tuscaloosa on Saturday morning. Upon arrival, Goff spoke to everyone in attendance before each member of the team partnered up with a Miracle League athlete, whom they spent the day with. The morning portion featured games that pitted members of the current Tide roster against league players. Following the games, Alabama players took pictures and signed autographs before the day was over.
All practice and game times are subject to change depending on weather conditions for the day. If necessary, the final game of the Fall World Series would be played at a later time.
Sewell-Thomas Stadium will be open to fans who wish to watch the practice and the "Steak and Beans" series. Fans are asked to enter Sewell-Thomas Stadium through the main gate (Gate 3) located directly behind home plate. Once inside, fans are encouraged to stay in the lower bowl seating area, as access to the upper levels of the stadium is restricted.
