Alabama softball

Team 27 has stayed very relevant in the world of softball this season despite not living up to Tuscaloosa's expectations for it.

Alabama and South Carolina will square off again at 4:37 p.m. CST for game two of the double header.

Alabama softball defeated Samford 3-2 to make Patrick Murphy the 9th coach in history to have 1,200 wins at one D-1 school.

As the past couple seasons have not gone the Tide's way, Murphy is hoping that with all of the new freshman and transfers, the new and improved Crimson Tide will make an impact on this season's outcome.

The Tuscaloosa City Council granted licenses to sell alcohol at two more University of Alabama athletic venues Tuesday night.

Tow was inducted into the inaugural hall of fame class along with Tanya Bowman, the first elected African-American Circuit Clerk in the state of Kentucky, Richard Frymire Jr., a 31-year military veteran, attorney and politician and Drew Franklin, a Kentucky Sports Radio icon.

Alabama softball gets another commitment for Team 27 as Michigan's LHP/UT Lauren Esman has decided to use her final two years of eligibility with the Crimson Tide.

Team 27 is taking shape and now has 19 players on the roster as it heads into the Fall Ball period. Expectations will remain high with the return of Prange, Montana Fouts, Jenna Johnson and Ally Shipman. Adding the 2022 MAC Player of the Year will no doubt bolster an offense looking for a lift in 2023.

Current Crimson Tide senior RHP Montana Fouts and Bama outfielder alum Haylie McCleney appeared in an exhibition for Team USA ahead of the 2022 World Games.

Now, five of the six Alabama softball players who've entered the NCAA transfer portal have new homes for 2023.
