Alabama cruises to SEC softball tournament title

Posted on May 12, 2012 | 1 comment

The Crimson Tide never trailed and was only briefly threatened en route to its fifth SEC tournament title.

Alabama destroyed Florida 10-1 this afternoon to complete the SEC regular season/tournament championship sweep for the second time in three years.

A 6-run third blew the game open. Jazlyn Lunceford and Kendall Dawson both hit 2-out home runs accounting for the final five runs of the inning.

Amanda Locke was the winning pitcher after coach Patrick Murphy rested ace Jackie Traina.

A look at the crowd gathering for Alabama’s SEC softball title game

Click to enlarge.

Update 3: Alabama got ~~one~~ ~~four~~ six runs back in the third. It’s ~~3-1~~ ~~6-1~~ 8-1 Tide after three complete. Jazlyn Lunceford’s 2-out, 3-run homer broke things open before Kendall Dawson added a 2-run shot.

Update 2: Florida cut into Alabama’s lead in the second. It’s now 2-1 Tide after 2-out, RBI single for Gators.

Update: Alabama leads Florida 2-0 after one inning as the sun pops out. My weather skills failed again.

The radar isn’t promising, but the crowd is growing at Rhoads Stadium for the SEC softball championship.

It’s Alabama and Florida — big rivals — playing for the title at noon. Or at least that’s the plan. Stay tuned for updates.

Did Harvey Updyke foreshadow his ill-fated trip to Alabama softball game?

By now you know Harvey Updyke wasn’t welcomed to Alabama’s SEC softball tournament game Friday. The boys in blue asked the father of Crimson Tyde Updyke to take a hike as Alabama beat Georgia 1-0.

School officials may have been tipped off to Updyke’s interest in attending if they monitored one popular Alabama fan website.

A poster on a TiderInsider.com message board named “Alfromdadeville,” inquired Thursday morning about the SEC softball tournament.

“If they win, what time do they play tomorrow,” the poster asked. He later checked on ticket prices for the SEC softball tournament played in Tuscaloosa for the first time since 2004.
