The No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide (17-0) started its Easton T-Town Showdown weekend with two run-rule wins over the Kent State Golden Flashes.

The Alabama Crimson Tide (15-0) dominated from the circle tonight to defeat Mississippi State (8-5) 4-0. Alabama was carried by star pitcher, junior Montana Fouts. Fouts set a career-high in strikeouts tonight, mowing down 16 Bulldog batters on her way to her seventh win of the season.

Coach Patrick Murphy and the Alabama softball team enjoyed a successful afternoon in a doubleheader against the North Carolina Tar Heels to get to 13-0 on the season.

Tow went 11-for-14 (.786) at the plate and had four multi-hit performances. She also reached a RBI career-best during the Easton Bama Bash.

For the second season in a row the Tide has been voted the favorite to win the SEC.

The Crimson Tide softball team began practice last week after having its season abruptly cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On Thursday night Alabama head softball coach Patrick Murphy appeared on Hey Coach/The Nick Saban show hosted by Alabama play-by-play announcer, Eli Gold. Coach Murphy was asked about how the team has adjusted to the changes of practicing during this pandemic.
