Team 26 is off to an excellent start in the 2022 season. On Friday, the Crimson Tide kick-started the season with an 11-0 victory over Southern Utah. Saturday saw the ladies take care of business in their double-header. First Alabama defeated Oregon State 5-1 and in the nightcap, they defeated ninth-ranked Arizona Wildcats 11-0 in five innings via the run-rule.
Junior Lexi Kilfoyl got the start on the mound for the Tide against the Wildcats and delivered a two-hit shutout. Kilfoyl also got the ladies on the board first with a solo home run in the top of the third.
Junior catcher Abby Doerr continued the hot-hitting with a three-run home run that would extend the Tide’s lead to 6-0. The Crimson Tide would hit a flurry of solo shots that eventually gave Alabama a commanding 11-0 lead and forced the run-rule to be applied.
Team 26 sits with a 3-0 record and will wrap up its weekend trip in Tuscon with a matchup with the New Mexico Lobos on Sunday at 12;30 p.m. CT.
