Montana Fouts will likely go down as the best softball player in the history of the University of Alabama program. For the third time in her collegiate career, Fouts threw a perfect game. Of the 18 batters she faced, she stuck out 14.
There is no greater feat for a pitcher than to throw a perfect game, and only eight have been thrown in Crimson Tide history. Fouts is responsible for three of them. The ninth-ranked Crimson Tide shut out Longwood, 8-0, on Sunday to improve to 17-3.
Fouts and the Crimson Tide are determined to get back to the Women’s College World Series after losing in the Tuscaloosa regional in 2022.
18 up.
18 down.
