The last couple of weeks has been a bit of a tough stretch for Patrick Murphy and the Alabama softball team. Before the weekend series with South Carolina, the Tide had lost four out of nine games which is very uncharacteristic of Team 26.
It looks like the ladies have found their groove again over the weekend in Columbia. Alabama was able to sweep the Gamecocks to improve its overall record to 28-4 and 6-3 in SEC play.
It took a come-from-behind effort on Friday night when a grand slam in the top of the sixth by KJ Haney gave the Tide a one-run lead before they added another in the top of the seventh to defeat South Carolina 7-5.
In game two of the series on Saturday, the Alabama bats caught fire as the Crimson Tide defeated the Gamecocks 10-2.
On Sunday, Montana Fouts dominated the South Carolina lineup, holding the Gamecocks to just two hits while striking out a career tying 16 batters.
Alabama will face Alabama State and Jacksonville State during the upcoming week before hosting the Georgia Bulldogs from Saturday through Monday.
