The University of Alabama is inching closer to another national championship.
On Friday, Crimson Tide fans were treated to the most memorizing performance in softball history.
Montana Fouts threw a perfect game on her 21st birthday to push the Tide into the semifinals of the Women’s College World Series. In facing UCLA, Fouts silenced the bats of the Bruins as Alabama earned a 6-0 victory. The junior totaled 14 strikeouts — including two members of the U.S. Olympic team, Bubba Nickles and Rachel Garcia. She accounted for the first perfect game at the WCWS since Courtney Blades achieved the feat in 2000 for Southern Mississippi in a 1-0 win over Arizona.
