Softball pitcher Kayla Beaver was named Second Team All-South Region by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA) prior to her throwing 126 pitches and 10 strikeouts against Southeastern Louisiana.

The Iron Bowl baseball game had a weather delay for nearly 2 1/2 hours. The contest was already in the ninth inning, and the Crimson Tide was up 12-5. In good spirits and the scoreboard on their side, Alabama had some fun passing the time.

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day:

“To my brothers: This is the moment you’ve been working for since you got the first letter postmarked Tuscaloosa in your mailbox. Remember the excitement you felt that day. You’re doing it man, you’re here. I would give anything to be able to take the field with my brothers one more time. So when you go out there, put every bit of yourself into every single play. Every single play. You never know when it might be your last. Roll Tide!” — Eddie Jackson
