After beating the Tigers 6-0 on Friday, Alabama split a Saturday doubleheader against its in-state rival. Alabama opened Saturday’s doubleheader against Auburn winning 13-3 to clinch the series victory but couldn’t complete the sweep as Auburn edged out Alabama 13-12 in extra innings in the final game of the weekend.
Between the two Saturday games, Haylie McCleney and Marisa Runyon each earned five hits, with Runyon driving in eight of the team’s 25 runs and slugging three of their five home runs. Alexis Osorio (14-6) threw a complete game victory in Friday’s matchup and in Saturday’s opener but was tagged for the loss in game three, allowing the game-tying double and walking the eventual go-ahead runner. Next up, Alabama will return home to face Troy on Tuesday at 6 p.m. and will host Tennessee for a three-game series starting on Thursday at 7 p.m.
