The Alabama softball will try and rebound from Friday’s loss against Northwestern in Game 2 on Saturday, May 27 in the NCAA Super Regional in Tuscaloosa. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).

No. 12 seed Northwestern took Friday’s opening game, defeating No. 5 seed Alabama 3-1.

Alabama (43-20) needs to win Saturday’s Game 2 to force a winner-take-all game three on Sunday, while one more win would send Northwestern (42-11) to the Women’s College World Series. The Crimson Tide has dropped the opening game of a Super Regional series five times, rallying to win in three games in 2011 vs. Stanford and 2015 vs. Oklahoma, both in Tuscaloosa.

When is Alabama-Northwestern Game 2?

The Alabama-Northwestern Game 2 is scheduled for 8 p.m. (9 p.m. ET) on Saturday, May 27.
