Alabama Softball Defeats Samford, 6-2, in Tuesday Road Matchup
The win was the 1,300th in Crimson Tide program history
Alabama softball earned the 6-2 road win Tuesday at Samford, the 1,300th win in program history.
Alabama (29-12) took the early lead over Samford (17-23) with two runs in the first inning, but the Bulldogs got one back in the bottom half to cut the lead in half. With the bases loaded and two out in the top of the second, a bobble on a would-be inning ending force out at second extended the frame and plated a run for the Crimson Tide. Bailey Dowling took advantage in the next at-bat, roping a double down the line to clear the bases and drive in three unearned runs to make it a 6-1 game. With the score the same in the bottom of the fifth, an RBI double drove in one for the Bulldogs but that would be the last run of the game as Alabama held on to win 6-2.
The win was the 1,300th in program history, giving the Tide a 1,300-392 all-time record since the program's inaugural 1997 season. Dowling led the offense with a 2-for-4 day at the plate with four RBIs, her team-leading 10th multi-hit game of the season. Ally Shipman scored in both of her at-bats, while six other Tide players earned a hit in the win. Three pitchers saw time in the circle, with Alex Salter (5-2) ultimately coming away with the win with just one run allowed on three hits and a walk over 4.0 relief innings.
From Head Coach Patrick Murphy
"I thought all three pitchers did really well. They all did their job. [Bailey] Dowling's double was huge too with two out and the bases loaded. Any time you can clear the bases with one swing, you'll take that all day. We needed that cushion."

Alabama softball held off a seventh-inning rally from Mississippi State to take Friday's series opener, 4-3.
Alabama (30-12, 7-6 SEC) took the early 1-0 lead over Mississippi State (23-17, 3-9 SEC) in the first inning as Kenleigh Cahalan scored from third on a passed ball. With the bases loaded in the top of the third, an RBI single and sac fly tacked on two more runs for the Crimson Tide, but the Bulldogs got on the board in the bottom half to make it 3-1. With the score the same in the top of the seventh, an RBI single from Jenna Johnson made it a three-run game. Down to their final out, a walk led to a two-run home run and then a double quickly put the tying run in scoring position. Montana Fouts (16-6) closed the door with a strikeout to end the game as the Crimson Tide held on to win, 4-3.
Ally Shipman, Larissa Preuitt and Johnson each had two hits on the day, with Johnson accounting for two of the team's three RBIs. Fouts struck out nine in the complete-game effort to improve her career total to 1,090, now 23 shy of second-place Stephanie VanBrakle (2003-06) on the Alabama career records list.
From Head Coach Patrick Murphy
"Montana pitched great up until that last inning where things got away a little bit, but she really controlled the game for the first 20 outs. The fourth run ended up huge for us. We still left a couple people in scoring position so we need to come through more often, but I think we had traffic on the basepaths almost every inning."

Saturday Shutout Clinches Weekend Series for Alabama Softball over Mississippi State
The Crimson Tide will look for the series sweep Sunday live on the SEC Network
A Saturday shutout on the road clinched the weekend series for Alabama softball over Mississippi State, with the Crimson Tide defeating the Bulldogs, 6-0.
For the second time in the series and the third-straight game, Alabama (31-12, 8-6 SEC) scored in the first inning as a Mississippi State (23-18, 3-10 SEC) error and an Emma Broadfoot RBI single plated a pair of runs for the Crimson Tide. Alabama doubled its lead in the fifth with an RBI single from Bailey Dowling and a sac fly RBI from Jenna Johnson and then added another in the sixth with another sac fly to make it 5-0. In the top of the seventh, Kali Heivilin went from first to third on a single by Johnson and then broke for home after a fielding error on the same play to make it 6-0. Having retired 10 straight heading to the bottom of the seventh, a leadoff walk for the Bulldogs broke the streak but that was all they got in the final half-inning.
Alabama was just one hit shy of its season-high in conference play, tallying 11 between seven different players, including a 3-for-3 day from Johnson and two-hit games from Dowling and Broadfoot. Alex Salter (6-2) went the distance with the complete-game shutout, allowing just three hits and one walk. The solo shutout is Salter's third of the season and fourth of her career.
From Head Coach Patrick Murphy
"I'm really proud of [Alex] Salter. Other than the Tennessee game, this was one of the best games of her career. She had them off balance all day. Lance [McMahon] called a good game and Ally [Shipman] caught a good game. I really liked our start offensively, especially with two outs. We had really clean defense all day and it was just a great day on the diamond.
"We've done the hard part – you have to win the first two games to get the chance to sweep. I told our team after the game that Mississippi State doesn't want to get swept. They're going to come out tomorrow with everything they have and paly one of their best games of the year. We just have to match the energy."
