The Hornets ended their regular season with a 34-21 record and a 20-10 record in the Southwestern Athletic Conference. They fought their way into the NCAA Tournament after winning the conference tournament by beating Florida A&M in the championship game, 8-6. That came after they took down Grambling and Arkansas Pine Bluff (twice) earlier in the tournament. They are winners of their last eight games, heading into the Tuscaloosa Regional.

For Alabama to bounce back, the bats of Justin Lebron and Brady Neal, who have been carrying the team all season, will need to get hot. Lebron finished the season with 14 home runs and 40 RBIs, while Neal led the team with 43 RBIs and eight home runs. Alabama State’s upset chances will lie in the pitching of either freshman Camden Matthews or sophomore James Peterson. Matthews was 3-0 this season with 47 strikeouts over 56.2 innings with a 3.49 ERA, while Peterson was 7-1 with a 3.59 ERA and 54 strikeouts.
