Kristen White, Bailey Dowling, and Kenleigh Cahalan led the way offensively. The three combined to have five hits and drove in two of Alabama’s three wins.
Jaala Torrence picked up the win in the circle. She came in relief of Alabama starting pitcher Alex Salter. Torrence pitched three scoreless innings, allowing no runs, and striking out two batters.
Alabama improved to 7-2 on the new season while the Bulldogs fell to 2-7.
