After dropping a game Friday, Alabama finished its season-opening softball series with a string of wins.

The No. 5 Crimson Tide went 4-1 in the UCF Knights Invitational this weekend in Orlando. That included a 10-2 Sunday win over Liberty after getting Saturday wins over Rutgers (6-0) and James Madison (2-1).

Sydney Littlejohn got the Sunday win with four innings of work. Alexis Osorio finished the final two frames. Demi Turner was the lead-off batter going 2-for-3 with a triple. The Tide blew things open with a five-run third inning.

The most exciting game of the weekend was the 2-1 Saturday win over James Madison. After trailing by a run entering the sixth inning, Turner scored to tie it in the sixth while Peyton Grantham's RBI single scored Marisa Runyon to walk off in the seventh. Runyon led off with a triple to set the stage.

Alabama (4-1) will travel to Birmingham to face UAB at 6 p.m. Saturday.
