No. 1:

  7A #2 Bob Jones @ 7A #1 Hewitt-Trussville 

Fri., May 2, 4:30 and 7 p.m. (Game 3, Sat., May 3, 1 p.m., if needed)

+ Bob Jones Patriots

• Defeated No. 8 Thompson, 2-6, 2-1, 7-6

+ Hewitt-Trussville Huskies

• Swept Sparkman 4-0, 5-1

 

In the most highly anticipated matchup of the Elite 8, defending state champions No. 2 Bob Jones take on the juggernaut No. 1 Hewitt-Trussville in a series that promises to showcase some of the best high school baseball in the country. Bob Jones is riding the momentum of a thrilling three-game series win over No. 8 Thompson and enters the series looking to defend their Class 7A title. The Patriots are led by a balanced lineup that can produce runs in clutch situations. In their last series, Bob Jones leaned on strong pitching performances from Jack Shaw, who threw 3.2 innings with two hits and one earned run, and Reece Brazeal, who earned the win in relief with three shutout innings. Offensively, the Patriots exploded in Game 3 with Myles Hammonds delivering the walk-off home run in the bottom of the eighth inning. Zack Johnson was a standout, going 4-for-4, while Tanner Hermesch’s three-run homer in the seventh inning tied the game and sent it into extras. Camden Martin and Dillon Adkins added to the power surge with home runs of their own, while Joshua Wilhide provided some big innings in relief on the mound. Hewitt-Trussville, on the other hand, has been an absolute wrecking ball this season, rolling through their competition with an incredible 33-2 record. With standout pitching performances from ace Christian Helmers and Hudson Mitchell, the Huskies have proven that they can shut down anyone in the state. In Game 1 of their series last week, Helmers threw a complete-game shutout, allowing only two hits and striking out four. He was supported by timely hitting from Cooper Huffman, Cole McIntosh, and Colby Durden, each of whom drove in an RBI. Game 2 saw Mitchell continue the dominant pitching for Hewitt-Trussville, tossing another complete game, allowing just two hits and one earned run while striking out eight. Offensively, McIntosh and Huffman continued to produce, with McIntosh going 2-for-2 with a double and Huffman adding an RBI double. Colby Durden and Koal Duckett also contributed RBIs to keep the offense rolling. The Huskies are not only known for their pitching and balanced offense, but they are also led by Steele Hall, who is widely regarded as the top player in the state. Hall’s incredible talent has made him a top prospect for the 1st round of this summer’s MLB Draft, and he will be a key player to watch in this series. A mega matchup not only in the state of Alabama this week, but in the country that will have plenty of eyes following it throughout the series.

No. 2:

 2A #1 Vincent @ 2A #2 Sumiton Christian

Wed., Apr. 30, 1 and 3:30 p.m. (Game 3, Thur., May 1, 3 p.m., if needed)

+ Vincent Yellow Jackets

• Swept West End 19-2, 12-0
• Defeated North Sand Mountain 5-9, 14-1, 5-2

+ Sumiton Christian Eagles

• Swept Lamar County 7-5, 15-0
• Swept Lindsay Lane Christian 3-0, 10-0

 

The second matchup in this week’s Class 7A-1A Baseball Playoffs features a thrilling battle between two top-tier teams: the No. 1 Vincent Yellow Jackets and the No. 2 Sumiton Christian Eagles. Vincent, consistently ranked in the top two of Class 2A, enters the postseason as one of the favorites, boasting a balanced team poised to secure the Blue Map this season. They’ve been a perennial contender in the playoffs over the last few years, and this season, they are led by players who can contribute in all facets of the game. Aiden Poe has been a key force on the mound, posting a dominant 2-0 record in the series last week, logging 8.2 innings and striking out 17 batters. In Game 2, Poe threw 1.2 innings of no-hit ball with five strikeouts, and in Game 3, he completed seven innings, allowing only six hits and two earned runs while fanning 12. Offensively, Vincent had multiple contributors, including Grayson Gulde, who went 2-for-2 with a double and an RBI in Game 2. Landon Archer also stepped up, driving in two RBIs in both games, while Keller Finn added a double and two RBIs in Game 1. Other players like Aiden Gasaway and Casen Fields made contributions as well, with Gasaway going 2-for-3 with an RBI in Game 2. Sumiton Christian, the defending state champions who made the jump from Class 1A to Class 2A, are no strangers to high-stakes baseball. They bring back key players from last year's title run and have continued to make noise in their new classification. Last week, the Eagles showcased their offensive firepower, especially from Reid Cornelius, who went 2-for-3 with a double and five RBIs in Game 2, leading the charge. Austin Hubbard, who has been the anchor of their pitching staff, threw seven innings in Game 1, allowing only three hits, no runs, and striking out 14 batters. He also contributed with a bat, hitting a home run and driving in two RBIs. In Game 2, Austin Scobey joined the power surge, hitting a home run and driving in two RBIs. With the combination of solid pitching from Hubbard and explosive offense from their key players, Sumiton Christian enters this series with a mix of experience and a high level of talent, making them a formidable opponent. This matchup promises to be one of the most competitive series of the Elite 8, with both teams carrying a blend of skill, experience, and momentum. Vincent will rely on their all-around game, led by Poe’s pitching and clutch hitting across the lineup, while Sumiton Christian will look to capitalize on their big-game experience and the dominant performances from players like Hubbard and Cornelius. Both teams are capable of making deep runs in the playoffs, and this series will surely be one to watch as they battle for a spot in the next round.

No. 3:

7A #4 Central-Phenix City @ 7A #5 Fairhope

Fri., May 2, 5 and 7:30 p.m. (Game 3, Sat., May 2, noon, if needed) 

+ Central-Phenix City Red Devils

• Swept Baker 9-3, 11-1

+ Fairhope Pirates

• Defeated Dothan 3-8, 6-1, 11-3

 

In one of the most anticipated matchups of the Elite 8, No. 4 Central-Phenix City (32-8) travels to face No. 5 Fairhope in a showdown that promises high drama and top-tier baseball. Central-Phenix City, the Class 7A state champions in 2022, is a perennial powerhouse that has made the state finals for three consecutive seasons. They’ve built a reputation for being a complete team with both dynamic pitching and an explosive offense, and this season, they’re poised to make it four straight trips to the finals. The Red Devils were dominant last week, with Emory Yohn turning in a solid six-inning performance in Game 1, allowing only four hits and one earned run while striking out five. The offense supported him with key contributions, including Bradley Bartholf’s 2-for-3 showing with a double and three RBIs, and Cam Norton’s 2-for-3 outing with a double. In Game 2, Sam Brown was the star, going 3-for-4 with two home runs, a double, and seven RBIs to lead the offense. Norton also shined on the mound, tossing five scoreless innings with five strikeouts and two hits. Other notable performances included Carter Frieberg’s 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI, as well as Joriyen Gordon’s 2-for-3 showing. With a deep lineup and pitchers like Yohn and Norton stepping up, Central-Phenix City is firing on all cylinders as they continue their march toward a potential fourth state finals appearance. Fairhope, meanwhile, has emerged as a serious contender in Class 7A, looking to break through to the semifinals after making a strong run to the Elite 8 last season. The Pirates are led by a deep and talented pitching staff, as well as a roster full of experienced upperclassmen who are battle-tested in big moments. Last week, Miles Drew Johnson delivered a dominant performance in Game 2, throwing 6.2 innings, allowing just one run on five hits, and striking out 13. The offense supported Johnson with key hits, including Bryon Martin’s 1-for-2 effort with an RBI, Lance Wade’s 1-for-3 with an RBI, and Miller Humphries’ 1-for-4 with two RBIs. In Game 3, Jerry McDowell took the mound and delivered a gem, tossing seven shutout innings with just three hits allowed, five walks, and seven strikeouts. Martin stepped up again, going 2-for-4 with a double and three RBIs, while Johnson contributed with a 2-for-3 performance, including a double and two RBIs. Wade also had a perfect 2-for-2 outing with two RBIs, and Humphries continued to provide clutch hits, going 1-for-2 with two RBIs. Central-Phenix City’s experience in the state finals and their balanced approach will be tested by Fairhope’s resilience and depth, making this series one of the most exciting matchups in the Elite 8. Whoever prevails will be one step closer to achieving their ultimate goal of a state championship.

No. 4:

7A #7 Tuscaloosa County @ 7A #6 Hoover

Fri., May 2, 4:30 and 7 p.m. (Game 3, Sat., May 2, 3 p.m., if needed) 

+ Tuscaloosa County Wildcats

• Swept James Clemens 9-4, 7-2

+ Hoover Buccaneers

• Swept No. 10 Grissom 12-1, 14-6

 

Tuscaloosa County and Hoover meet in a compelling Class 7A Elite 8 matchup between two programs that swept their first-round series with impressive all-around performances. Both teams appear to be playing their best baseball at the right time, setting up a well-balanced series with significant postseason implications. Tuscaloosa County advanced behind elite starting pitching and consistent offensive production. In Game 1, ace Tate Pettus delivered a dominant outing, throwing six innings of shutout baseball, allowing just three hits and striking out 14. Offensively, Drew Keller led the way with a 3-for-4 performance that included two doubles and two RBIs. Colson Mellown added a 2-for-3 line, while Kole Nicholson and Joel Goss each contributed doubles to fuel the Wildcats’ offense. In Game 2, Brooks Mellown kept the pitching momentum going with four shutout innings and four strikeouts, also driving in two runs at the plate. Brady Jones and Ford Traweek combined to close out the final three innings without allowing a run. Nicholson continued to produce, going 3-for-3, and Camden Barnett added a 2-for-4 day that included an RBI double. Tuscaloosa County’s depth on the mound and efficiency at the plate make them a difficult team to match up with in a three-game series. Hoover responded to its own playoff opener with two strong wins, powered by an offense that has shown the ability to generate extra-base hits in key moments. Will Adams set the tone in Game 1, tossing a five-inning complete game with eight strikeouts and just one earned run allowed. He also went 2-for-3 at the plate with a double, home run, and three RBIs. Jonah Winston was another standout, going 2-for-3 with a double and four RBIs, while Baylor Hardy added a double and an RBI of his own. The Bucs’ offense continued to produce in Game 2, with Adams hitting another home run and Jaxson Wood delivering two triples and four RBIs. James Au and Winston each went 2-for-3 with multiple RBIs, providing Hoover with the depth it has relied on throughout the season.

No. 5:

4A #6 Deshler @ 4A #5 Haleyville

Thur., May 1, 5 and 7 p.m. (Game 3, Fri., May 2, 6 p.m. if needed)

+ Deshler Tigers

• Swept West Limestone 4-0, 13-0
• Swept No. 10 Alexandria

+ Haleyville Lions

• Defeated Hokes Bluff 7-8, 8-4, 8-2
• Swept No. 8 Madison County 5-2, 13-10

 

In what sets up as one of the most evenly matched and intriguing series in the Class 4A Elite 8, No. 6 Deshler hits the road to take on No. 5 Haleyville in a classic strength-versus-strength battle. Deshler has remained one of the top teams in 4A all season, consistently ranked inside the top six and backed by one of the deepest and most effective pitching staffs in the state. That strength has carried into the postseason, where Deshler has yet to allow a single run through two playoff rounds. Haleyville, meanwhile, surged through the back half of the season and enters the Elite 8 playing its best baseball of the year, powered by a lineup capable of producing runs in bunches and fueled by a core of experienced upperclassmen. Deshler’s dominance on the mound was on full display in the second round. Price Thornton threw a no-hitter in Game 1, going the full seven innings with six strikeouts and only two walks in a complete-game shutout. Camden Fuller provided a spark at the plate, going 3-for-3 with a run scored. In Game 2, Jacob Alexander continued the team’s playoff shutout streak, tossing five innings of one-hit ball while striking out seven and allowing no runs. He also contributed at the plate with a double and two RBIs. Brady McKinney added a 2-for-3 performance that included a triple, home run, and three RBIs, while Brycen Williams and Jay Murner each chipped in with run-scoring hits. Although Garrett Reid did not pitch in the second round, he has been a key rotation arm all year and gives Deshler yet another high-level option on the mound. Haleyville counters with a red-hot lineup that put up big numbers last week in a sweep of their own. In Game 1, Jadyn Marbutt threw a complete game, allowing just two runs on five hits while keeping opposing hitters off balance across seven innings. The offense supported him with timely hits, including a 2-for-2 outing from Will McCullar that featured a double and two RBIs, and a 2-for-2 showing from Cooper McNutt, who added a double and an RBI. Game 2 saw Haleyville’s offense shift into high gear. McCullar was the driving force, going a perfect 4-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs. McNutt followed suit with a 4-for-5 day and a double, while Jacob Barnwell went 3-for-5 with a double and three RBIs. Even Howard chipped in a 3-for-3 performance with an RBI, and both Evan Cagle and Marbutt added key run-producing at-bats.

No. 6:

4A #7 Trinity Presbyterian @ 4A #1 Oak Grove

Thur., May 1, 4 and 6 p.m. (Game 3, Fri., May 2,  4 p.m., if needed)

+ Trinity Presbyterian Wildcats

• Swept Handley 14-3, 6-2
• Swept Jackson 22-1, 13-3

+ Oak Grove Tigers

• Swept West Blocton 14-2, 11-0
• Swept Satsuma 13-0, 8-1

 

One of the most compelling series in the Class 4A quarterfinals features a red-hot Trinity Presbyterian squad hitting the road to face the state’s top-ranked team in Oak Grove. The Tigers have looked every bit the part of a championship contender all season, entering the Elite 8 with just three losses—each coming to larger classification teams (Helena, Chelsea, and Northside). They’ve combined quality arms with a middle of the lineup that has been relentless in postseason play. Trinity, however, comes in playing its best baseball of the season and features one of the top overall players in 4A in Fleming Hall, setting up what could be a high-level, back-and-forth matchup. Oak Grove's offensive depth and consistent pitching carried the program through the second round. Colton Praytor tossed six scoreless innings in Game 1, allowing just four hits while striking out six, and added an RBI at the plate. The real story was the offensive firepower. Wiley Hicks was unstoppable at the plate, going 4-for-4 with a double, home run, and three RBIs. Jay Fuller and Dalton Troncalli each hit home runs, with Fuller driving in two and Troncalli going 2-for-3 with two RBIs. Game 2 mirrored that dominance. Brody Black threw a complete game, limiting damage with just one earned run across seven innings, and Oak Grove’s offense picked up right where it left off. Hicks repeated his 4-for-4 performance with another home run and two RBIs, while Fuller added his second homer of the series and Troncalli chipped in two more hits and another RBI. The Tigers have shown they can overwhelm opponents with both their arms and their bats. Trinity Presbyterian arrives with serious momentum and a potent lineup, anchored by Hall, who has been a force in the playoffs. In Game 1, he went 3-for-5 with a triple, home run, and four RBIs, then followed that with a monster Game 2—going 3-for-3 with a double, two home runs, and six RBIs. On the mound, he also delivered five strong innings in Game 2, striking out nine and allowing just three hits. Supporting Hall is a deep group of contributors: Patton Mitchell turned in a gem of his own with five innings of shutout baseball in Game 1 and went 3-for-4 with three RBIs at the plate. Xavier Boswell and Cooper Bernier each tripled and combined for multiple hits and RBIs in both games, while Luke Hall added three doubles and four RBIs over the two contests. The Wildcats are firing on all cylinders offensively and have proven they can score in explosive stretches. Both teams have yet to really be tested in the playoffs, but that will change this week.

No. 7:

5A #4 St. Paul's Episcopal @ 5A UMS-Wright

Fri., May 2, 4 and 6:30 p.m. (Game 3, Sat., May 3, 1 p.m., if needed)

+ St. Paul's Episcopal Saints

• Swept Charles Henderson 9-2, 18-0
• Defeated Briarwood Christian 8-12, 8-7, 6-5

+ UMS-Wright Bulldogs

• Swept Headland 9-3, 7-4
• Defeated No. 7 Elmore County 1-0, 5-10, 3-2

 

Few series in the state carry the intensity and local flavor of this Elite 8 showdown between longtime Mobile-area rivals St. Paul's Episcopal and UMS-Wright. Just a few miles separate the two storied programs, and while St. Paul’s won their lone regular-season meeting 2-0, UMS-Wright has evolved into a much different team as the postseason has progressed. With both clubs carrying strong playoff resumes and rosters capable of reaching the finals, this series promises high-level baseball. St. Paul’s enters with one of the more complete teams in Class 5A, blending a deep, experienced offense with a rotation that can carry the load in tight postseason games. Last week, the Saints’ bats showed up in the biggest moments. In Game 2, Edward McLeod crushed a three-run home run to spark a comeback effort, while Tate Johnston added a two-run double and Brooks McDonald chipped in an RBI double of his own. On the mound, Bradley Irish delivered 6.1 solid innings with seven strikeouts, and Taylor O'Dell locked down the save. Game 3 showed the Saints’ resilience, rallying from a 5-2 deficit with two runs in the sixth and two more in the seventh—capped by a walk-off two-run home run from John Stowers. Ross Delaney kept St. Paul’s alive with six innings of solid relief work, and O'Dell returned to toss a perfect final inning to earn the win. That late-game execution and bullpen reliability could be a key factor in this series. UMS-Wright, meanwhile, has caught fire at the right time. The Bulldogs shut out their opponent in Game 1 last week behind a dominant complete-game shutout from Andy Purvis, who allowed just two hits and struck out 10. Clutch hitting from Jeff Holston and multi-hit games from Ty Waters and Colby Weaver highlighted a scrappy offense that continues to do just enough to win tight games. Waters followed Purvis with a complete-game win of his own in Game 3, scattering five hits and striking out five. Holston and Weaver again led the charge at the plate, and Manning Amorde provided a key two-RBI single to swing the momentum. With a trip to the 5A semifinals on the line, this rivalry adds another chapter in what should be a tightly contested, emotionally charged series.

No. 8:

6A #2 Mountain Brook @ 6A #8 Gardendale

Fri., May 2, 4 and 6:30 p.m. (Game 3, Sat., May 3, noon, if needed)

+ Mountain Brook Spartans

• Swept No. 10 Oxford 10-7, 12-6
• Defeated No. 6 Buckhorn 1-4, 9-4, 11-1

+ Gardendale Rockets

• Swept Minor 14-0, 19-0
• Defeated Fort Payne 1-2, 10-0, 6-1

 

A heavyweight battle looms in Class 6A as No. 2 Mountain Brook hits the road to face No. 8 Gardendale in a matchup between two resilient programs that have been tested throughout the postseason. Mountain Brook has battled through back-to-back series against top-10 opponents, eliminating No. 10 Oxford and No. 6 Buckhorn to reach the Elite 8. Gardendale, meanwhile, outlasted a tough Fort Payne team in three games, showing off its deep pitching staff and timely offense in the process. Mountain Brook's path to this point has been paved by elite starting pitching and a relentless middle of the order. In Game 2 of last week's series, Bryant Diddell turned in a gem—seven shutout innings with eight strikeouts—to keep Buckhorn off the scoreboard. Meanwhile, Paul Barnett powered the offense with a 3-for-5 performance that included a double, a home run, and four RBIs. Noah Crosby added a multi-hit effort with a double and RBI, while Luke Houser drove in two runs to round out a balanced attack. In the decisive Game 3, Jude Davidson took the mound and delivered one of the most dominant playoff performances in the state thus far—six shutout innings, just two hits allowed, no walks, and eight strikeouts. The offense again came alive, with Becker Mayor going 2-for-4 with a double, triple, and three RBIs, Caleb Barnett adding a 2-for-3 line with a double and three RBIs, and Paul Barnett launching his second home run of the series. Hunter Davis chipped in a 2-for-2 day with a double and RBI as the Spartans punched their ticket to the quarterfinals. Gardendale enters the series with momentum of its own, led by a pitching staff that has been quietly excellent this postseason. In Game 2, Caiden Combs threw five shutout innings and allowed just one hit while striking out 11, despite battling control issues with six walks. He also added a home run in the series opener and reached base eight times via walks across the three-game set, proving to be a major two-way threat. Offensively, Gardendale got key contributions from Rhett Fitzpatrick, who homered and drove in two, Caleb Banks with three RBIs, and Adam Yazel and Jackson Firestone, both of whom had extra-base hits and RBIs in the Game 2 win. In Game 3, Austin Webb took the mound and delivered six strong innings of shutout baseball, striking out six and limiting hard contact. Combs, Cody Florence, and Rowan Warmack each recorded multi-hit games, with Warmack adding a double and RBI to help clinch the series. Expect tightly contested games and playoff intensity at its peak in what could be one of the best matchups across any classification this week.

No. 9:

6A #9 Pell City @ 6A #1 Hartselle

Fri., May 2, 5 and 7:30 p.m. (Game 3, Sat., May 3, noon, if needed)

+ Pell City Panthers

• Swept Huffman 15-0, 20-0
• Swept Cullman 10-6, 5-4

+ Hartselle Tigers

• Swept Southside-Gadsden 3-1, 11-1
• Defeated No. 5 Homewood 3-1, 2-3, 2-1

 

For the second straight year, No. 9 Pell City and No. 1 Hartselle meet in the postseason—this time with a trip to the Final Four on the line. Last spring, Hartselle survived a tense three-game Sweet 16 series with the Panthers. Now, Pell City returns with unfinished business and momentum on their side after sweeping Cullman on the road, one of the toughest playoff venues in the state. Meanwhile, Hartselle held off a dangerous No. 5 Homewood squad in three hard-fought games to extend its postseason run. Pell City enters this rematch riding strong two-way performances from a group that's been battle-tested. In Game 1 against Cullman, Peyton Moss went deep and drove in a run, while JorDon Perry delivered the big blow—a home run with four RBIs to set the tone. Cason Smith added a double and two RBIs in the opener and stayed hot in Game 2, going 2-for-2 with two more RBIs. Jacob Burgos also chipped in with a two-hit game that included a double and RBI, while Brooks Laminack added a key run-scoring hit. On the mound, Karter Perry delivered a gem in Game 2—six innings, six hits, just one earned run, and 10 strikeouts to help secure the sweep. Hartselle, despite being pushed to the limit last week, showed plenty of resilience and toughness being able to battle back from 1-0 deficit in Game 3 with their season on the line. In Game 1 against Homewood, Jace Meadows was excellent—seven innings, four hits, one run, and eight strikeouts—backed by timely offense from Cole Miles (2-for-4, double, 2 RBIs) and Keaton Lance (RBI double). When the series went to Game 3, Asher Doepel answered the bell with a complete game—allowing just one run on four hits with six strikeouts. Ty Marsh blasted a solo home run, and once again it was Lance delivering in the clutch with a two-out RBI single in the fifth inning that proved to be the game-winner. This series has all the ingredients to go the distance once again, with the state’s top-ranked team facing one of the hottest teams in the state.

No. 10:

2A #6 Red Bay @ 2A #7 Mars Hill Bible

Thur., May 1, 4 and 6:30 p.m. (Game 3, Fri., May 2, 4:30 p.m., if needed)

+ Red Bay Tigers

• Swept Cold Springs 16-2, 10-0
• Defeated No. 5 Decatur Heritage Christian 8-5, 3-7, 5-1

+ Mars Hill Bible Panthers

• Swept Pisgah 11-2, 14-0
• Swept Wesminster-Oak Mountain 10-0, 7-3

 

It’s a familiar postseason matchup in Class 2A as No. 6 Red Bay hits the road to face No. 7 Mars Hill Bible in a rematch of last season’s semifinals—a series Mars Hill swept on its way to a state title appearance. This year, Red Bay returns with experience and momentum after knocking off No. 5 Decatur Heritage Christian in three games last week. But Mars Hill once again stands in the way, bringing a confident, battle-tested roster that knows how to win late in the playoffs. Red Bay plenty of resilience last week, bouncing back from a Game 1 loss to take the series. Ty Reynolds was the standout in the opener, going the distance on the mound and producing at the plate with a double, home run, and four RBIs. Dallas Terrell stayed hot throughout the series, going 3-for-3 in Game 1 and 2-for-3 in the decisive Game 3. Jeramiah Thorne was dominant when it mattered most, tossing a complete-game shutout in Game 3 with six strikeouts and also collecting two hits. Landyn Lewey was a consistent offensive threat, adding a pair of hits and two RBIs in the series clincher. For Mars Hill Bible, it’s been a similar story of pitching and production from the heart of the order. Cam Isbell set the tone in Game 1 last week with six shutout innings and eight strikeouts, also chipping in offensively with a hit and RBI. Oakley Bevis drove in runs in both games and has continued to be a key piece in the middle of the order. Noah Hanback came through with a multi-hit performance and got the win in relief in Game 2, while Brooks Campbell and Luke Fowler helped round out a balanced attack. Expect a tight, competitive set between two teams that know each other well—and know what it takes to get to the Final Four.
