Summary

  • Jason Torres delivered a grand slam for Alabama in Game 2 of the Tuscaloosa Super Regional against St. John's, the day's signature swing after play resumed.
  • A passing thunderstorm halted the game for multiple hours at Sewell-Thomas Stadium, extending weather trouble that had already pushed first pitch back from 2 p.m. CT to 3 p.m.
  • Zane Adams started for Alabama and worked a 107-pitch outing before handing the ball off, while the Crimson Tide also got early offense from Luke Vaughn and a Brady Neal RBI fielder's choice.
  • The game unfolded as a weather-disrupted postseason test for Alabama, with Torres' 4-run blast emerging as the clearest turning point in a stop-start super regional matchup.
