The Alabama softball win was propelled by two power hitters in the lineup, something that might show promise as the season advances. Senior pitcher Alexis Osorio (2-0) got the win in the circle. Solid as always, Osorio pitched five of the six innings and recorded nine strikeouts.
Jillian Johnson recorded the loss for the Golden Eagles. Southern Miss used three pitchers throughout the game, but each recorded an earned run. Alabama has yet to give up an earned run. USM’s only run came from an error in the bottom of the sixth.
Alabama’s 11 runs were easily the story of the game.
