Softball opens it season today

Bama softball opens its season today and I can't be more excited. I think this is the best team that we have fielded in a long line of very good teams, including the 2005 team that which included 7 top caliber seniors.

I fully expect coach Murphy to take them to another World Series appearance. Bama has one of the toughest schedules in the nation this year so they will be battle hardened and ready to win it all.

RTR!

No Problem, it is going to be a fun year.

Bama 12 runs 16 hits and RS Freshman pitcher Amanda Locke gets her first win in a complete game. Can't wait until the next game which will be in an hour.

Gonna be much more than an hour (guessing 3:30 or so) since our 1st game was 3 hours long. I believe we play Memphis in the 3rd game after the Jax St - USA game (which was supposed to start at noon).

BTW - Bama scored 12 runs (not 11) for a 12-2 win in game 1.

Yes, you are right; I saw that Morgan scored on a, third out, Locke strikeout/wild pitch. I didn't see that part but read it later. Thanks for being in the game that is the kind of fans we need....

Keep us posted on when the second game starts, maybe start a game thread. Being here in Georgia I can only go by what they say in the schedule. But, no game is ever on time except possibly the first one.

RTR!

I only caught bits and pieces of game 1, but sounds like everyone's picking up where they left off last season. Morgan went 3 for 4 with a HR and Rogers went 3 for 4 with 3 steals.
