Saturday, Oct. 17: Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (Time TBD)

“Ever since we began hosting fall college baseball at Blue Wahoos Stadium in 2024, the fan response has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Blue Wahoos president Jonathan Griffith. “This unprecedented expansion of our NCAA slate helps meet the high demand for our passionate local fans and helps bring new baseball communities to experience Pensacola’s unique environment and fan experience for the first time.”
