Social media reacts to Alabama's season-ending Hattiesburg Regional loss at Southern Miss
Social media reacts to Alabama's season-ending Hattiesburg Regional loss at Southern Miss In what was a back-and-forth contest, the Alabama Crimson Tide's 2025 season officially came to an end with a 6-5 loss against Southern Miss on Saturday afternoon. Ending the Crimson Tide's time in the NCAA Tournament, Alabama originally jumped out to an early lead in the third inning with a solo home run from Will Platner, with Southern Miss however immediately responding back with a two-run shot to take a 2-1 lead. The Crimson Tide however also responded almost immediately in the fourth with a two-run home run from Will Hodo to take a 3-2 lead, but Southern Miss responded with a long ball of their own in the bottom of the frame once again, tying the score at 3-3. After the two back-and-forth innings, Alabama eventually took a 5-3 lead in the seventh inning after a massive two-run home run from Bryce Fowler, putting the Crimson Tide in a position to close out a potential victory to keep their season alive. However, the Crimson Tide surrendered three runs in the eighth to give Southern Miss a 6-5 lead, and even despite loading the bases with two outs in the ninth, were not able to capitalize, and as a result, saw their time in the NCAA Tournament come to a close.

The Alabama Crimson Tide were represented Monday in the latest edition of the SEC's weekly baseball awards, as Will Hodo was officially named as the conference's Co-Player of the Week alongside Arkansas' Wehiwa Aloy. Taking a look at Hodo's week, it originally began Tuesday in a win over Middle Tennessee in which he hit his first home run of the season in a three-for-five performance where he also had a double, two RBI, and three runs scored. Hodo then followed that up with a one-for-four showing the next day in a win over Alabama State in which he had a RBI. Hodo's impact however was felt most this past weekend at the 2025 Jax College Baseball Classic in which Alabama went undefeated against Coastal Carolina, NC State, and Ohio State. In Jacksonville, Hodo went a combined 3-for-9 with a home run, a double, three RBI, and six runs scored, and delivered a walk-off three-run home run to defeat the Buckeyes on Sunday.
