Finally a one run game goes the Tide’s way as Alabama beat/upset the Minnesota Golden Goothers to put themselves one win away from its 13th super regional appearance.
With Alexis Osorio visibly tiring after throwing perhaps the game of her life, 180 pitches on a hot, muggy afternoon, holding the nation’s 3rd best batting team to just two hits over nine innings, there was no question Alabama had to close it out in the bottom of the ninth.
Alabama ninth
Spirited team leader, Demi Turner, led off the Bama ninth with her second hit of the day, an infield single to second.
