The Alabama softball team will be televised seven times during the 2013 regular season, the Southeastern Conference announced Monday. The Crimson Tide is part of a television package that will showcase the league 35 times on the ESPN, Fox and CSS networks.
Of the seven games, Alabama will be shown on ESPN four times. Alabama opens its television schedule at South Carolina on March 16, in a Saturday contest that will be shown on CSS. Two of the three games against rival Auburn will be televised as CSS will carry the Saturday game on March 23 and ESPNU will air the series finale on March 24.
