The third-ranked Tide enjoyed a three-game sweep of rival Auburn over the weekend. That pushed their early SEC record up to 3-0, as they came away unblemished. They allowed just three runs in the series while scoring 14, for a solid run differential of +11. Alexis Mack and Bailey Hemphill lead the squad with batting averages north of .400. Bailey Dowling is currently the team leader in home runs with five, while Hemphill trails with four, and Kaylee Tow has three. Lexi Kilfoyl and Montana Fouts are still dominant, having allowed a combined 11 earned runs in 112.1 innings with a combined 162 strikeouts to just 12 walks.
