No. 5 Alabama softball officially won the home series over No. 1 Texas following a tie-breaking 7-4 victory in Game 3 on Saturday.

This is the first time in ten years that the Crimson Tide won a series against a No. 1 opponent.

After a falling to the Longhorns 9-1 in the series opener, and a 4-0 deficit in the beginning of the second game, the momentum shifted completely in the Crimson Tide's direction, as it did not let up the rest of the series.

Alabama scored 6 runs in the second inning of Game 2, starting with a bases-loaded double from Brooke Wells, which brought in three runs. UA did not allow another run the rest of the outing, eventually ending with an 11-4 win.

"The goal was to bounce back from yesterday's performance and we did just that." Alabama head coach Patrick Murphy said after Game 2.

During the Crimson Tide's series-decider on Saturday, Alabama once again took the lead in the second inning, scoring four runs in the process.

“It’s an honor and a privilege to be at Alabama with this group of people," Murphy said in a press release after Game 3. "They are truly incredible. It took all 21 of our players to win this series, because Texas is one heck of a team. They’re the number one team in the nation for a reason.

"We needed the almost 4,000 fans in the stands and in our corner to win that series. They gave us life when we needed it.

"We had two really good pitching performances from from [Vic] Moten and [Jocelyn] Briski and we had some really great hits from a lot of different people. Overall, I’m really impressed with today’s outcome.”
