Alabama Softball Shuffles Schedule, Announces New Opening Weekend Slate
Due to freezing temperatures and inclement weather, the University of Alabama softball team's season-opening Texas Classic Tournament has been canceled.
However, the Crimson Tide has added four games to take place over the weekend starting on Friday.
Alabama will play at Alabama State in Montgomery on Friday at 5 p.m (CT) and then on Saturday, the Crimson Tide will face off with Notre Dame at 4:30 p.m (CT), still in Montgomery.
On Sunday, Louisville will travel to Tuscaloosa for a double-header beginning at noon inside Rhoads Stadium.

Previously, the Crimson Tide was set to play Colorado State and No. 6 Texas in Austin on Friday, then the Longhorns again on Saturday morning along with No. 3 Arizona that afternoon. The event was to conclude on Sunday with Alabama squaring off again with the Rams.
“I looked at my phone the other day, and it said it had been 338 days since we've played our last game which was against Arkansas last March," Alabama senior outfielder Alexis Mack told the media on Wednesday. "So we're really excited to get to put the uniform on.”
Next weekend, the Crimson Tide will have a full slate of home games starting on Feb. 19 during the Easton Bama Bash, when it takes on Liberty in a double-header starting at 4 p.m (CT). It was also play Gardner-Webb in a double-header on Saturday. First pitch of the first game is slated for 3 p.m (CT).
