NCAA Softball Live Updates from No. 1 Alabama and USC Upstate (Regional Final)
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.- No. 1 Alabama and USC Upstate meet on Sunday at Rhoads Stadium for a spot in super regionals. The two teams met in the regional opener on Friday with the Crimson Tide run ruling the Spartans 8-0 in five innings.
Upstate fought its way through the losers' bracket on Saturday, beating Southeastern Louisiana in the first game and eliminating Belmont in the evening. The Spartans were the lowest-seeded team in the region but have fought their way to the regional championships game.
Alabama just has to win once to advance to Supers for the 15th time. USC Upstate needs to win the first game to force the if-necessary game, which it would also need to win to advance to its first ever appearance in super regionals.
First pitch is scheduled for noon CT, and the game will air on SEC Network. BamaCentral is inside Rhoads Stadium and will provide updates throughout.
