For the second game in a row, the Crimson Tide found themselves in an early hole, only to fight back to regain the lead. Arizona State had a two-run homer in the third inning and three-run shot in the fourth off Sarah Cornell to put Alabama in a 5-run hole.
Things were looking dire until the Tide bats finally came alive with a 5-run fifth inning punctuated by Bailey Hemphill’s third grand slam of the season to tie it up at 5.
Alabama proceeded to take the lead and build upon it with aggressive base running.
