HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Alabama softball rallied from an early deficit to Southern Miss Tuesday afternoon, scoring four unanswered runs to earn the 5-2 comeback win.

For the 21st time this season Alabama (22-2) took the first lead of the game with a second-inning RBI single from Megan Bloodworth but Southern Miss (17-9) responded with a two-run single in the bottom half of the inning to take the lead. The score remained the same until the top of the fourth inning when a Bailey Dowling RBI single tied it up at 2-2 and then the Crimson Tide offense added another run to its lead in each of the next three innings, ending with a 5-2 final score.

Ally Shipman was 2-for-3 batting third, including the go-ahead RBI single in the fifth inning. Ashley Prange also had a two-hit game batting cleanup, driving in Shipman with an RBI double in the sixth inning. Montana Fouts (12-0) earned the win in relief, pitching 3.1 shutout innings with five strikeouts and just two hits.

Highlights​

  • Alabama improved to 15-2 all-time over Southern Miss, including a 12 game win streak
  • The Tide improves to 19-2 when scoring first and 14-0 when leading after the fifth inning
  • The multi-hit game was Shipman's ninth of the season, tying her with Dallis Goodnight for the team lead
  • Bailey Dowling has at least one hit in five of her last seven games, including two home runs and four RBIs
  • Kaylee Tow drew a walk to improve her career total to 145, now just six behind fifth-place Stephanie VanBrakle (2003-06) in the Tide's career records

Scoring Summary​

  • T2 | Megan Bloodworth drove in a run with an infield single (1-0, 2 Out)
  • B2 | A bases-loaded single plated two runs for the Golden Eagles (1-2, 1 Out)
  • T4 | Bailey Dowling lined an RBI single to center to tie the game (2-2, 1 Out)
  • T5 | Ally Shipman ripped an RBI single through the left side to give Alabama the lead (3-2, 1 Out)
  • T6 | Abby Doerr drove in M'Kay Gidley from third with a sac fly RBI (4-2, 1 Out)
  • T7 | Ashley Prange hit an RBI double to drive in Shipman from second (5-2, 0 Out)
 
Torrence struggled in the circle a little bit. 3.2 innings 5 hits 2 runs (both earned) 4 walks 3 Strikeouts. I listened to the game, so I don't know what kind of strike zone the ump was giving, but it must have been pretty consistent because the Southern Miss starter had about the same stat line over 5 innings.
 
Say it ain't so, Joe. We're actually going to be shown on a live TV broadcast? :p Must be wanting to keep FSU's TV time going.

With Fouts having to close it down last night, will we see Lexi get the start tonight against the Noles? @TerryP You seem to be the pitcher predictor here.

After last year's debacle in the WCWS, I hope Fouts gets the start; she only went 3.5 last night. On the other hand, Kilfoyl needs the work. Fouts could come in and slam the door shut if needed.

With Terry's record on pitcher predictions this season, I would go with whoever he doesn't predict to be the starter.

FWIW..... Chris Stewart said on the broadcast yesterday, barring a last minute change that Lexi would be starting against FSU. He said she is a good pitching match up against FSU's style of hitting.
 
My daughter will be happy this is on television. We'll be watching. Nasty weather in Georgia the last couple of days, so all of our practices have been cancelled.
