Like dangling a steak in front of a hungry lion, Alabama was left chomping at the bit to unleash their hellfire because of a three-hour weather delay. Once Washington finished off 7-seed Minnesota, the Crimson Tide pounced and ripped their foe to shreds.
Bama did not waste time getting going, roughing up Gators ace Kelly Barnhill for six runs in the first headlined by a pair of three-run dingers by Kaylee Tow and Merris Schroder.
Barnhill was not able to get the third out of the inning and was lifted for Elizabeth Hightower.
