[BAMANEWSBOT]

Alabama advances to its fourth straight semifinals

The number two seeded Alabama softball team used a sixth inning solo home run by senior Amanda Locke and an 11-strikeout performance from sophomore Jackie Traina to down Arizona State, 2-1, Friday night at ASA Hall of Fame Stadium. The win came in front of a record crowd of 9,209 fans. After not having a hit for the entire NCAA Tournament until tonight, Locke hit a one-out solo home run to center field to give Alabama its first lead of the night - a lead it did not relinquish. It was the 18th home run of the season for Locke, moving her into fourth all-time on the Alabama single season list.

With the win, the Crimson Tide improves to 57-7 on the year and advances to the semifinals for the fourth straight time. Arizona State drops to 52-10 on the season.

Traina threw a complete game three-hitter, striking out 11 batters en route to improving to 39-2 on the year. With the win, Traina set the single-season school record for victories, previously held by Shelley Laird.

Are they adding caffeine to lemonade now?

I caught the replay this morning and I came to a decision. If we had the need to invent a drinking game this weekend we could do so with how many times "the SEC hasn't won a WCWS" is heard. While I wasn't making it a point to count, I know by the fourth inning I had heard Mowins mention it four times. It's to the point it is about as informative as telling the audience they use a yellow ball.

Oh wait, that might be informative with you Lance! :nana:
