TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama softball coach Patrick Murphy says the best way to respect an opponent is “to play your very best against them.”
The Crimson Tide waited until two outs in the bottom of the third inning before dishing out all the respect it would need to down Jackson State on Friday night. Alabama opened the Tuscaloosa Regional with an 8-0 win over Jackson State in five innings. The Tide used a four-run rally in the bottom of the third inning to pull away after a sleepy start to the game.
Alabama will now play Virginia Tech on Saturday at 11 a.m. in the winner’s bracket of the regional. Virginia Tech beat Belmont, 5-0, earlier Friday. Belmont and Jackson State will play later Saturday in an elimination game.
