The No. 6 Alabama Crimson Tide softball team took on the Samford Bulldogs on Tuesday night in Rhoads Stadium. The Crimson Tide beat the Bulldogs 8-1. This win advances the Crimson Tide's record to 24-0, giving it the fifth best start in program history.

It was the 13th multi-home run game of the season for the Crimson Tide as Brooke Wells hit two home runs and Alexis Pupillo had one as well. Wells is now up to 10 home runs on the season. Pupillo has now safely reached base in 20 straight games and is up to nine home runs. The two players combined for six hits and four RBIs.

Starting pitcher Kaitlyn Pallozzi tied her season high of six strikeouts in a game. Vic Moten struck out three Bulldogs across three innings, and earned the win in relief. Alea Johnson entered the circle in the seventh inning to record the final three outs.

The Crimson Tide will face No. 9 Arkansas in a three-game SEC series at home starting on Friday.

"Our pitching and defense have been great lately and today was no different," Alabama head coach Patrick Murphy said after the win. "We are excited to be 24-0 this far in the season, but we are not complacent. This is a huge series coming up with Arkansas, and our team knows that one of my pet peeves is losing at home. We are going to do everything to protect the Rhoads house and keep working hard.
