We're going to get absolutely blasted in SEC play. Murph is a dinosaur.

A pair of home runs and a solid outing in the circle led Alabama softball to a 9-1 run-rule win in six innings over North Alabama Wednesday afternoon at Rhoads Stadium.
Alabama (11-0) scored in each of the first three innings, leading 6-0 before North Alabama (7-4) erased the shutout with an RBI groundout in the top of the fourth. With the score still 6-1 in the bottom of the sixth, a bases-loaded single from Larissa Preuitt drove in a pair before Kali Heivilin ended it two batters later with an RBI single, securing the run-rule victory.
Abby Duchscherer got the scoring started with a first inning home run, her second long ball of the season, to drive in two runs. Emma Broadfoot launched a three-run homer in the third inning, part of a 2-for-3 day at the plate for the senior infielder. In total, the offense scored its nine runs on 10 hits, marking the Tide's fifth double-digit hit performance of the season and its second-highest run total. Jaala Torrence (4-0) threw a complete-game gem in the circle, allowing just one run on two hits with a season-best six strikeouts with no walks. Of her 88 pitches thrown, 69 went for strikes.
From Head Coach Patrick Murphy
"We were so excited by Abby Duchscherer's home run in the first inning. I felt like she was going to do something big. After the team's lackluster performance on offense Sunday, she got us started off with a bang. The defense was awesome too. Jaala Torrence was really good in the circle and didn't give up a single walk. I thought she was in complete control the whole game. UNA is a very good team. They made it to the championship of their conference tournament last year and I bet they will be a regional team this year. It was a big win for us."
