A record crowd of 2,035 fans were in attendance on Saturday to watch the No. 2 University of Alabama softball team defeat Kentucky 12-3 and 6-0 for the first of two days on senior weekend at the Alabama Softball Complex.
The stands quickly filled up and fans started to sit on the outfield hill and hills to the side of the bleachers. The largest crowd in school history passed a record the team set earlier this season when they had 1,958 on April 6 for a doubleheader against Auburn.

SUNDAY UPDATE: The #2 Alabama Crimson Tide not only completed the series sweep against the lady Wildcats, but did it in true Tide fashion, with a no-hitter. The 12th in school's history.
Sunday was a storybook day for five seniors on the No. 2 University of Alabama softball as all five played a part in the Crimson Tide earning its 50th win of the season in an 8-0 victory over Kentucky to complete the series sweep and extend its winning streak to 17 straight victories.
