win 3-1..Pitching was great but we were very poor today at hitting vs a team who was 5-7. A number of none starters, who used to be starters, got some PT time today. Not sure they did enough to earn more PT when SEC season starts

Didn’t get to watch this one but followed the score. Happy to see pitching getting it together. Hitting and scoring…. Yikes.
Alabama Softball Defeats Western Michigan, 3-1, Tuesday in Tuscaloosa
Jaala Torrence gives the Crimson Tide another stellar start in the circle
Alabama softball took the early lead over Western Michigan Tuesday night at Rhoads Stadium and ultimately held on to win, 3-1.
Alabama (18-3) jumped ahead of Western Michigan (5-8) quickly with two runs in the first on an RBI single from Ashley Prange and a sac fly RBI from Ally Shipman. The score remained the same until the sixth inning, when the Broncos erased Jaala Torrence's (5-2) no-hit bid and the shutout with a solo home run to lead off the frame, making it 2-1. The Tide got one back in the bottom of the sixth on a pinch-hit RBI single from Lauren Esman to make it 3-1 and Montana Fouts closed the door in the seventh, striking out the side for her first save of the season.
Coming off a no-hitter in her last start, Torrence was sharp again in the circle with the solo home run as the only hit allowed in an efficient 66-pitch outing over 5.2 innings pitched. Fouts' three strikeouts in relief improves her career total to 968, putting her 32 shy of becoming the fifth pitcher in program history to reach 1,000 strikeouts.
From Head Coach Patrick Murphy
"I was really pleased with Jaala Torrence's start. The one thing we ask our pitchers is to give us a chance to win - period. You don't have to throw a perfect game or a no-hitter, even though she had one again through five innings. It was just a great game for her. I thought her velocity was really good. [Ashley] Prange made two hellacious plays behind her that took away two hits. The first inning, our hitters came out and scored two runs right off the bat, and then their pitcher kind of settled down, so kudos to her. Lauren Esman got a really good RBI off the bench for us in the bottom of the sixth."

Playtime’s over - got to find some more offense as the team heads to Texas and then into SEC play.
Alabama Softball Earns Wednesday Road Win at UAB, 2-1
The Crimson Tide head to Austin, Texas this weekend for the Bevo Classic
In its first true road game of the season, Alabama softball edged out in-state foe UAB, 2-1, Wednesday night at Mary Bowers Field.
Alabama (19-3) fell behind early as UAB (10-11) got on the board with an RBI single in the opening frame to take a 1-0 lead. With two in scoring position and one out in the top of the third, Ashley Prange pulled an RBI single through the left side to tie the game up and Bailey Dowling gave the Crimson Tide the lead in the next at-bat with an RBI groundout. With the score still 2-1 in the top of the seventh, Ally Shipman started the inning with a leadoff double and advanced to third on a groundout but was ultimately left stranded as Alabama couldn't add any insurance. Montana Fouts closed the door with a 1-2-3 seventh, earning her second straight save to secure the one-run road win for the Tide.
Lauren Esman (3-0) got the win in the circle, allowing just one unearned run and three hits over 5.0 innings pitched while striking out four. Montana Fouts struck out four of the six batters she faced in relief to earn her second straight save. All eight of Alabama's hits came from different players, with Kenleigh Cahalan extending her hitting streak to six games and Prange's to five.

another night of great pitching and the Queen had to come in and save a tight game due to the batters inability to score some runs.

If we don't find some offense, the weekend in Texas will be bad.

This is with fouts pitching. We dont have a true number 2. Does not bode well for a team that has been hitting poorly of late.

Offensive woes continue
Seventh-Inning Rally Falls Short in Alabama Softball Loss at Texas Friday in Austin
In a top-ten matchup to open action at the Bevo Classic, Alabama clawed back from a five-run deficit against Texas to bring the go-ahead run to the plate in the top of the seventh, but the rally fell just short as the Longhorns held on to defeat the Crimson Tide, 5-3.
Alabama (19-4) and Texas (19-2-1) were scoreless until the Longhorns hung a crooked number in the third, plating five runs on three hits and an error. The Tide was hitless until a two-out single from Kenleigh Cahalan in the fifth put runners on the corners and Ashley Prange erased the shutout in the next at-bat with a three-run home run to make it a 5-3 ballgame. With the score the same in the top of the seventh, Faith Hensley and Cahalan hit back-to-back singles with one out to bring the potential go-ahead run to the plate, but Texas got out of the jam with a pair of strikeouts to end the rally.
Cahalan was 2-for-4 from the leadoff spot, earning her fourth multi-hit game of the season and extending her hitting streak to seven games. Prange extended her own hitting streak to six games, smashing her team-leading ninth home run of the season and tying her season high with three RBIs. Montana Fouts (9-2) took the loss in the circle while Alex Salter backed her up with 3.0 shutout relief innings, holding the Longhorns to just three hits.
