#14 Alabama has an uphill battle to reach the Women’s College World Series Finals, as they lost 4-1 to #6 UCLA in their first round game yesterday. Due to this defeat, Alabama must win four games in a row to earn their spot in the national championship series. While it may seem daunting, Alabama was able to win two elimination games against #3 Tennessee earlier in the tournament. So, the Crimson Tide could make things interesting in their bracket.
Despite losing yesterday, Alabama showcased their talent by remaining highly competitive for most of the game. The Crimson Tide were even 1-1 heading into the sixth inning, but they faltered within that frame by conceding a three-run home run. So, Alabama will look to bounce back tonight in the elimination game against #10 Duke.
The Blue Devils are coming off a 9-1 loss to #2 Oklahoma yesterday, which showcases a common flaw between Alabama and Duke. Neither of these teams can consistently score runs, as they both failed to score more than one run in their opening round games yesterday.
Although Duke gave up nine runs against Oklahoma, they are typically a defensive-minded team that has incredible pitching. So, this game will likely be a low-scoring affair that should be exciting to watch.
