Alabama softball won their first game against Washington but lost their second game against Arizona at the Candrea Classic.
The No. 11 Alabama softball team experienced a mixed bag of results on Saturday at the Candrea Classic in Tucson, Arizona. In the morning game, the Crimson Tide rallied from a 3-0 deficit to defeat No. 22 Washington 7-3. However, in the nightcap, Alabama faced a tougher challenge against No. 17 Arizona, ultimately falling 9-1 in a game that saw the Wildcats erupt for a seven-run fifth inning. This marked Alabama's first loss of the season.
Alabama's first game saw them trail early against the Huskies before mounting a comeback. After falling behind 3-0, the Crimson Tide clawed their way back, fueled by strong pitching and timely hitting. They eventually took the lead and held on for the victory. Starters like Kali Heivilin and Lauren Johnson played key roles in the comeback. In the second game against Arizona, the Crimson Tide struggled to generate offense against a tough Wildcat pitching staff. They managed just four hits throughout the game, unable to sustain any momentum. Arizona capitalized on Alabama's struggles, particularly in the decisive fifth inning where they unleashed a barrage of hits and runs, effectively putting the game out of reach. Jocelyn Briski pitched four innings for Alabama, allowing five runs on six hits, while Alexis Pupillo led the Crimson Tide's offense with two hits
