Your daily briefing on what's going on with Alabama athletics and how to watch the Crimson Tide.
Alabama softball opened its two-game weekend set against North Dakota State with an 8-1 win on Friday. The Crimson Tide saw freshman Vic Moten handle seven innings of work as she set a new single game high in strikeouts with 14.
Moten's 14 takes her up to 100 strikeouts in her freshman season. “I was really pleased with Vic tonight," Patrick Murphy said. "She responded well to them scoring in the first inning and then went on to strike out eight in a row at one point later in the game and was in total command the rest of the way. The defense played really well and the offense battled through a really windy day with it going straight across. We crushed a couple balls that got caught in the wind and their outfielders made good plays all night. In the sixth inning we put together a two-out rally and I was really pleased that we had three seniors on base and Larissa Preuitt, celebrating her senior day, got up and came through with the two-run single. “Larissa has been such a great ambassador for the program and for this university. She’s an outstanding young lady on and off the field. We couldn’t ask for a better family to join along with her in this ride over the last four years.” Brooke Wells extended her home run streak to three straight games as she smoked a solo shot in the fifth inning for her 15th of the season. Larissa Preuitt, celebrating her senior day, drove in Alabama's final two runs of the game with a bases-loaded single through the right side.Christopher Crawford won the men's discuss at the Bulldog Relays after throwing 59.83 meters.March 28, 1938 : Sandy Sanford, known as the "$100,000 Toe," demonstrated he was one of the top athletes on campus. In track, he ran a 10.0 100-yard dash and rated as one of the SEC's best shot putters as well. Sanford, who played end and kicked for the SEC champion football team, earned his nickname after he kicked final quarter field goals to beat Tulane and Vanderbilt and earn a Rose Bowl spot — which paid the school $100,000 — for the Crimson Tide. — Bryant Museum"Ted said he could see the ball leave his bat and I could too. I did that from the first day until I finished and that’s the reason why I didn’t strike out much."This is how Houston Mallette walked out of the arena tonight. The uniform meant so much to him that he wasn’t ready to take it off after the game. We will miss this guy for sure.
