Alabama softball knocks off No. 5 Georgia on Sunday 5-4

Alabama softball picks up a huge road win against No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs on Sunday

The No. 15 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide softball team used a massive five-run fourth earning to pick up a 5-4 road victory against No. 5 Georgia on Sunday. The Bulldogs did pick up wins on Friday and Saturday to secure the series, but picking up a road win against a top-five team is still huge for the Tide moving forward.

All things considered, it was a successful week for the Tide as they also picked up a 3-0 victory against No. 13 Florida on Monday before traveling to Tallahassee, FL on Wednesday and knocking off the No. 16 Seminoles 4-1. Alabama is now 22-5 on the year, but only 2-4 in SEC play.

Just like the baseball team today, the game went all the way down to the final pitch as [autotag]Kayla Beaver[/autotag] struck out a swinging Jaiden Fields with bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh. Beaver was phenomenal as she pitched a complete game allowing just seven hits and two earned runs. The Tide will be back in action on Tuesday against Samford.
