Alabama got a three-run home run from freshman catcher Reagan Dykes to key a four-run outburst in the third inning, and held on for a 5-2 victory in front of a crowd of 3,443.
Alabama (51-12), which won 2-1 in eight innings on Friday night, clinched the best-of-three series to advance to the Women’s College World Series, which begins next weekend in Oklahoma City.
