The Crimson Tide advances to super regionals for the 16th time after beating SLU 12-2.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.— After Alabama scored five runs in the ninth inning of Saturday's victory over Southeastern Louisiana, Crimson Tide head coach Patrick Murphy said he hoped the team would be able to carry that momentum over into the next game.
It was less of a carryover and more of an explosion for the Alabama offense in Sunday's regional championship. The Crimson Tide erupted for nine runs and 10 hits in the first inning on the way to a 12-2 run-rule victory over Southeastern Louisiana to secure a spot in super regionals for the 16th time.
Alabama's first eight batters reached with a hit before an out was recorded. In total, the Tide sent 14 runners to the plate in the first inning. The team finished with a season-high 14 hits. Alabama scored more runs in this game than all of May's regular season games combined. No. 14 Alabama has been a strong pitching team all season behind the arms of Jocelyn Briski and Kayla Beaver, but the offense has consistently struggled. Even through the first 15 innings of the Tuscaloosa Regional, the offense had scored just two total runs. That all changed on Sunday as the offense finally came alive.Jocelyn Briski got the start in the circle for Alabama, and senior pitcher Jaala Torrence came in to close things out in the fifth inning to secure the victory.
