Alabama and FSU getting started... kinda weird seeing Fouts throw without the facemask...
Ok, she has it now. Weirdness averted.
Murph made some adjustments. Second time around v. Sandercock two HRs in the 4th. 2 - 0, Bama
Well,, F$U just made a similar adjustment...2 - 1.
Hope that blast by Dowling gets her going some... she just hasn't been the same for a good while, since her injury.

Yeah, I saw in yesterday's game her batting average is on .167. She really needs to get it going, both her and Broadfoot.
Bama hangs on, wins 2-1. And that's a stout FSU team.
Yeah theyāve had BAMAās #

CLEARWATER, Fla. ā In the marquee Sunday night matchup at the TaxAct Clearwater Invitational, 15th-ranked Alabama used a pair of solo home runs to beat No. 7 Florida State in a 2-1 pitcher's duel.
Alabama (6-2) and Florida State (9-3) were scoreless through the first three innings until a pair of solo home runs from Kenleigh Cahalan and Bailey Dowling broke up the perfect game and gave the Crimson Tide a two-run lead. The Seminoles responded with their own solo shot in the next half-inning to make it 2-1, but Montana Fouts (3-1) and the Alabama defense did the work the rest of the way, stranding the potential tying run 60 feet away in the seventh to clinch the win.
The game was Alabama's third this season with multiple home runs, the second homer of the season for Cahalan and the first for Dowling. The complete game was Fouts' third of the season, allowing four runs or less in all of them.
