The Crimson Tide (28-12, 6-6 SEC) had an excellent opportunity for a much-needed sweep over South Carolina (27-11, 4-8) but came up short.
GAME 1: ALABAMA 2, SOUTH CAROLINA 1 - 9 Innings
For such a tight low-scoring game, it was a bumpy ride until the end.
Ashley Prange broke a scoreless tie in the bottom of the third inning when she singled in Kenleigh Cahalan who had doubled before her and made it to third on a South Carolina error. Unfortunately, Bama would leave the bases loaded in that inning and the next as well.
