The Women’s College World Series got off to a rocky start for the Alabama softball team as they fell 4-1 to No. 6 UCLA. Despite holding the Bruins scoreless in the first few innings, Alabama struggled to generate offense and eventually succumbed to their opponents.
In the fifth inning, it seemed like things were looking up for the Crimson Tide as they loaded the bases and tied the game at 1-1. However, a crucial error by Alabama’s right fielder allowed UCLA to take a lead once again. The Bruins then scored three runs in the sixth inning off of a home run by Jordan Woolery, leaving Alabama struggling to keep up.
The pressure was on for Alabama as they faced elimination with their next game against the loser of the Duke vs Oklahoma matchup. Despite their best efforts, they were unable to recover from their deficit and ultimately fell short in their opening round game.
