Wednesday night, Auburn Softball took the field against their hated rival in their first game of the SEC Tournament in Columbia, Missouri. It would end up being their last game of the tournament as Alabama advanced to take on first Seed Florida on Thursday. The Tigers finished their SEC season 11-13 when Bama evened the season series 2-2. Alabama would almost certainly take this win over losing the series earlier this season in Auburn.
The Tigers entered the day as the favorite to beat the Tide, but when the final pitch was tossed to pinch hitter Justus Perry, Alabama celebrated a 6-4 victory.
