The Alabama softball team is off to a blazing hot start here in 2022. On Thursday, the ladies made the trip to Louisiana to take on the Ragin’ Cajuns in a matchup of top-25 teams. Alabama run-ruled Louisiana, cruising to a 9-1 victory in just five innings of work.
Kaylee Tow gave the Tide an early lead thanks to a two-run home run in the first inning. Thanks to a walk and a hit-by-pitch in the third inning, Alabama would plate two more runs before Lexi Kilfoyl knocked in a two-run double to give the ladies a 6-0 lead. By the time the third inning was completed, Alabama held a commanding 9-0 lead. Louisiana would knock in a run in the bottom of the fourth to avoid the shutout. Kilfoyl got the start on the mound and improved her season record to 3-0.
Alabama has now run-ruled six opponents on the young season and improves to 4-0 against ranked opponents.
The Crimson Tide will remain in Lousiana for the “Mardi Gras Mambo” tournament which is being held in Youngsville, LA.
Alabama’s tournament schedule will include, Nicholls, Southeastern Lousiana, Northwestern State, Louisiana Tech, and once again a meeting with the Ragin’ Cajuns.
