Alabama softball NCAA super regional schedule: Who Crimson Tide plays, TV
The field is set, and Alabama softball is traveling to Knoxville to take on No. 3 Tennessee in the NCAA super regional round from May 23-26 at Sherri Parker Lee Stadium.
The Crimson Tide won the Tuscaloosa Regional, where it swept the winners bracket. Alabama opened the regional with a 1-0 win over USC Upstate before defeating Southeastern Louisiana 6-3 in nine innings on Saturday. In the championship game, it run-ruled Southeastern Louisiana 12-2 in five innings, collecting its most hits this season (14).
The Lady Vols swept the winners bracket in the Knoxville regional, defeating Dayton 3-0 on Friday then Virginia 12-0 on Saturday. On Sunday in the championship, Tennessee defeated Virginia again, this time 6-0, to win the regional.
It will not be the first time Alabama and Tennessee have seen each other this season, with Alabama hosting Tennessee at Rhoads Stadium for a conference series in April. The Lady Vols won the series 2-1, taking Game 1, 5-0, and Game 2, 2-0. Alabama won the series finale, 1-0, to avoid being swept.
The super regional round is played in a three-game series. The winner of the Knoxville Super Regional earns a spot in the Women's College World Series. Alabama has made 14 appearances in the Women's College World Series, most recently last year.
