Two Crimson Tide softball players who saw significant playing time during the 2022 season have announced that they are leaving the program.

Extra Innings Softball has reported that Alabama’s [autotag]Abby Doerr[/autotag] and [autotag]Jenna Lord[/autotag] entered the transfer portal just one day after Alabama’s season ended in the Tuscaloosa Regional.

Lord, a native of Trussville appeared in 45 games for Alabama this season, making 30 starts. She hit .289, which was 5th highest on the team. She also recorded two home runs and 19 RBI in 90 at-bats.

Doerr hit .227 for Alabama this season with one home run and 17 RBI. She appeared in 43 games with 35 starts, primarily at catcher.

Lord, who just completed her freshman season at Alabama, will have three years of eligibility remaining while Doerr will have two more years to use.

Lord and Doerr join former Alabama outfielder [autotag]KB Sides [/autotag] as players who announced their departure from the program shortly after the Crimson Tide ended their season over the last two years. Last season, Sides announced that she would be playing her final eligible year elsewhere, where she ended up settling down at Arkansas.

Alabama Softball dominates Arizona 11-0

Alabama Softball run-rules ninth-ranked Arizona 11-0

Team 26 is off to an excellent start in the 2022 season. On Friday, the Crimson Tide kick-started the season with an 11-0 victory over Southern Utah. Saturday saw the ladies take care of business in their double-header. First Alabama defeated Oregon State 5-1 and in the nightcap, they defeated ninth-ranked Arizona Wildcats 11-0 in five innings via the run-rule.

Junior Lexi Kilfoyl got the start on the mound for the Tide against the Wildcats and delivered a two-hit shutout. Kilfoyl also got the ladies on the board first with a solo home run in the top of the third.

Junior catcher Abby Doerr continued the hot-hitting with a three-run home run that would extend the Tide’s lead to 6-0. The Crimson Tide would hit a flurry of solo shots that eventually gave Alabama a commanding 11-0 lead and forced the run-rule to be applied.

Team 26 sits with a 3-0 record and will wrap up its weekend trip in Tuscon with a matchup with the New Mexico Lobos on Sunday at 12;30 p.m. CT.
