Alabama Softball: Schedule set for Tuscaloosa Regional

The schedule is set for the No. 5 Alabama Crimson Tide and the rest of the Tuscaloosa Regional for the NCAA

Alabama softball entered the Tuscaloosa NCAA Regional hosted at Rhoads Stadium as the No. 5 seed overall. Patrick Murphy and the Crimson Tide have a 40-18 record on the 2023 season with an in-conference record of 14-10.

Many were shocked to see Alabama earn the No. 5 seed, given the strength of other programs in the SEC and how the Tide failed to win the SEC tournament, or even reach the final.

While the team wasn’t able to win the SEC, winning a national title is still within reach. However, the Tide must first get through the Tuscaloosa regional.

Here’s what you need to know about Alabama’s first step toward a national championship.

Here are the best photos from the Tuscaloosa Regional

A great season for the Alabama Crimson Tide came to a close on Sunday as they were defeated by Stanford, 4-0 in the final game of the Tuscaloosa Regional.

It was the third time that the Crimson Tide and Cardinal met in the regional, with two of those games having historical significance.

In Saturday’s 6-0 Stanford win, it marked the first time since 2007 that Alabama had lost a game in the regional round. Then, Stanford defeated Alabama again in the winner-take-all game seven on Sunday, 6-0. The loss ended Alabama’s season, making it the first time since Super Regionals were introduced in 2005 that Alabama will not be competing in one.

Although the headlines will show Alabama’s losses to Stanford, the Crimson Tide did grab three wins on the weekend, defeating Chattanooga twice, and beating Stanford, 4-0 in game six.
