Rebel softball will take on conference opponents No. 14 Alabama this Saturday in part one of a three-game series. Coming off a 2-1 win in a closer-than-expected battle with Jacksonville State, the Rebels need to finish out the season powerfully if they hope to earn a seeded spot at regionals later this year.
While the Rebels’ most recent game seemed uncharacteristically weak, any win after a scoreless sweep to the top-ranked Florida Gators last weekend comes as a much-needed commodity. The game’s momentum, however, seems to be in favor of Alabama after an 8-1 stomping of in-state opponent Samford on Tuesday.
