   TUSCALOOSA, AL: In game two, Alabama got on the board first off a double to the left field wall with two outs. A 7-6-2 play at the plate got the second runner at home to end the threat.
   Two more runs came across for the Tide before the Tigers put two up themselves. In the top of the fifth, Briggs and Raeleen Gutierrez led off with back-to-back hits. Morgan Cummins moved the two over on a sacrifice bunt and Briggs scored on a fielding error by the pitcher. Gutierrez scored on the next play off Andrews' groundout to shortstop.
   Alabama responded in the bottom of the fifth with another run off an LSU error to take a 4-2 lead. The Tide added another in the sixth to take the 5-2 lead for good.
   Sunseri took her first loss of the season, falling to 2-1 on the year.
  At the plate, Cummins led the Tigers with two hits, going 2-for-2. Andrews picked up the lone RBI of the night. 


   The LSU Softball team put together a comeback victory in game one to walk-off Liberty, 4-3, before falling to Alabama in game two, 5-2, at the Bama Bash Saturday. The Tigers are now 4-2 on the year.
