Softball stays undefeated

James Benedetto, Staff Writer March 6, 2019
No. 5 Alabama improved to 21-0 after a victory over South Alabama, 5-2. The Crimson Tide struggled offensively  managing only seven hits.“I just think we need to compete a little harder, especially with two strikes” coach Patrick Murphy said. “Just don’t give in as easy. Compete your butt off and most of the time in softball and baseball, it is the competitor that gets the job done. It doesn’t have to be a pretty swing, I’d rather it be gritty than pretty.”
