Score updates and analysis from Rhoads Stadium as the Crimson Tide and Tigers meet for the second game of the Tuscaloosa Super Regional.

Rhoads Stadium before Saturday's super regional between No. 1 Alabama and No. 16 LSU | BamaCentral

TUSCALOOSA, Ala.—  No. 1 Alabama is one win away from a trip back to the Women's College World Series. No. 16 LSU needs to win to keep its season alive.

Behind a shutout performance from Jocelyn Briski, the Crimson Tide won Game 1 of the Tuscaloosa Super Regional 7-0 on Friday night.

Even though Alabama is playing at home inside Rhoads Stadium, the Crimson Tide will be the designated visiting team and bat first during Saturday's game.

The weather forecast heading into the weekend looked like it might be rough and stormy in Tuscaloosa, but we have sunshine and blue skies on Saturday. First pitch is scheduled for 2 p.m. CT on ESPN. BamaCentral is inside Rhoads and will provide updates throughout.

Top 3- Alabama batting

• We'll see if the Alabama offense can respond after a long inning in the field. Taylor, Hawkins and White due up for the Tide, looking for its baserunner.

END 2: Alabama 0, LSU 0

Bottom 2- LSU batting

• Lassiter puts a charge in one out to the warning track in centerfield that looked like it could have been a grand slam off the bat. White catches up against the wall to strand the bases loaded. Moten gets out of her first big jam.

• Beth Torina tries to call timeout before the 1-0 pitch, but it is so loud in Rhoads, that I don't think the home plate umpire heard her.

• Captain Marlie Giles goes tout to the mound to give instructions to the infield with bases loaded. Two outs makes it a pretty easy decision though for the infielders: get the out at the easiest base.

• Hodge drops a bloop single into left field to load the bases for the top of the LSU order. Huge AB for Hodge, who came into the game batting .206

• It would've taken a really good effort, but Moten can't quite complete the out on a dribbler back towards the circle. LSU has two on with two outs for Hodge.

• Five outs, five strikeouts for Moten. Two outs after Lorenz goes down swinging.

• Bergeron draws a four-pitch walk to give LSU a one-out baserunner.

• Moten opens up the second with her fourth strikeout of the game.

Bottom 1- LSU batting

Pregame

• Alabama super fan Emily Pitek Clifford puts on her signature overalls and sombrero right before first pitch, and the Rhoads crowd is FIRED UP

Definitely the most full I’ve seen the Brickyard all year. Rhoads is rocking a few minutes before first pitch pic.twitter.com/2IHPh87z5f

• Today's umpires: Don Brown (home plate), Mike Bartling (first base), Jenna Boullion (second base), Chris Nabors (third base)

• Freshman Vic Moten (20-4, 1.66 ERA) gets the start in the circle for the Crimson Tide.

• It is pretty toasty in Tuscaloosa today with temperatures in the mid 80s. The fans and players directly in the sun will be warm.

• More than 40 minutes before first pitch, and the Brickyard is already more full than yesterday.

• Alabama will be wearing its anthracite uniforms today. LSU is wearing all white uniforms with gold undershirts.

• There are still seven super regionals happening around the country today. Tennessee is the only team to punch its ticket already to Oklahoma City.

• Hat tip to the in-stadium DJ. All of Friday's pregame songs were rain/water related. Today, the songs are all about sunshine and happiness.

• The fans are eager to get inside Rhoads Stadium today. Friday's attendance was listed at 2933, but I think it will be around 3500 fans in Tuscaloosa today.
