Vanderbilt Baseball Clinches Series Win Over Alabama with Walk-Off Homer

Vanderbilt baseball staged a dramatic comeback against Alabama, overcoming a 7-2 deficit with two outs in the eighth inning to win 9-7 on Braden Holcomb's walk-off, two-run home run. Key contributions came from Holcomb, who also homered in the eighth, Colin Barczi with a two-run homer, and Brodie Johnston, whose two-run double tied the game in the ninth. The victory secured the series for No. 15 Vanderbilt, boosting their prospects of hosting a regional and possibly earning a top eight national seed. The middle of the Commodores' batting order, featuring Nelson, Johnston, and Holcomb, has become increasingly effective, combining for significant offensive output against Alabama. Coach Tim Corbin credited the team's resilience and focus on getting on base as pivotal to their comeback. This win reflects Vanderbilt's improved lineup and determination as they approach the final stretch of the SEC season.
