Tuscaloosa, Ala. (WIAT) – For the 12th straight season, the Alabama softball team will advance to the Super-Regional of the NCAA Women’s Softball Tournament. The Crimson Tide took down Cal in the regional final 8-0 Sunday.

““I just want to say congrats to Cal. They are a really classy team and organization. I think they only had two seniors, so they will be back for sure.” Said Alabama Head Coach Patrick Murphy. “I told our team afterwards, you guys are the most consistent team in college softball. It is 12 straight regional titles and the only school in all 12 super regionals.”

Tide Senior Infielder Leona Lafaele led the way for Alabama, going 2-3 at the plate, and driving in four runs.

“I would say that I am trying to make adjustments right now. Yesterday, I was struggling with Nisa Ontiveros. I think it’s all about adjustments from game-to-game.” Said Lafaele “Seeing her yesterday was a big thing for us today. We need to make those adjustments and try and adjust for the next pitcher.”

Alexis Osorio came in relief in Saturday’s win over Cal and fought her way through several tricky situations with runners in scoring position. But that was all in the past as Osorio pitched a dominant 6.2 innings surrendering no runs, and only giving up three hits.

“It was awesome. To see her take the momentum from yesterday and bring it to today was great.” Said Lafaele “She goes right after them and even when she walks someone, she still has that look on her face like it doesn’t matter. She’s going to get it together, she’s going to get that ground ball for us and get the strikeout. Just having her up there so calm, and to have a pitcher like that, it’s great to play behind.”

Alabama will play Washington, who won the Seattle Regional in the Super Regional next week.
