TALLAHASSEE, Fla. \u2013 Alabama softball capped an undefeated weekend Sunday at the Dugout Club Classic, rallying from a two-run deficit to Dartmouth with a three-run fifth inning to take the lead and hang on for the 3-2 win.<\/p>\n
Alabama (13-0) trailed early after Dartmouth (0-4) took advantage of an error and a rundown to score two runs in the third inning. Still trailing 2-0 in the bottom of the fifth with two out, Larissa Preuitt<\/a> got the Crimson Tide on the board after swiping third base and coming home on an errant throw. A walk and wild pitch put Jena Young<\/a> into scoring position for Marlie Giles<\/a>, who roped a double to the outfield and drove in the game-tying run. Alexis Pupillo<\/a> followed that with a single up the middle to drive in the go-ahead run. Vic Moten<\/a> (7-0) ultimately got the win in relief, throwing 2.2 shutout relief innings.<\/p>\n “I think it was good for us to have a game like that where somebody really pushed us. Credit to Dartmouth, they definitely pushed us today. Their pitcher threw a great game. Vic came in and did well in relief, kept he score the same, Marlie Giles<\/a> comes off the bench to tie it and Lex hits a rope up the middle for the winning run. It was the type of game we needed to experience as hitter and on defense because the last few innings were pressure-packed.”<\/p>\n Highlights<\/p>\n
