No. 9 Arizona softball got the Caitlin Lowe era off with a band on Thursday and Friday against Southern Utah outscoring the Thunderbirds 37-1 in 10 innings. Now, things get a great deal more challenging as the Wildcats prepare to step on the field against No. 2 Alabama.
The last time the two teams went head-to-head, the Crimson Tide were sending the Wildcats to the losers’ bracket at the Women’s College World Series. This time, Arizona will be in the friendly confines of Hillenbrand Stadium, but Alabama will still have Montana Fouts in the circle.
Like that game in early June 2021, Fouts will likely face off against Arizona pitcher Hanah Bowen.
