CHARLESTON, S.C. - The No. 1 ranked Alabama softball team opened its two-week road trip with a 7-1 victory over the College of Charleston, Thursday night at the Patriot Point Sports Complex. With the win, the Crimson Tide improves to 34-2 on the season while the Cougars fall to 21-13.
It took Alabama four innings to get to Cougar pitcher Alex Datko, but it was junior Jennifer Fenton who got things going. The outfielder collected the first hit of the contest for the Tide in a big way as she hit a solo home run over the tall wall in left for her seventh homer of the season.
The big inning for Alabama came in the fifth when the Tide put four on the board. Sophomore Jackey Branham brought in the first run of the frame with a single up the middle that plated pinch-runner Ryan Iamurri.
Sophomore Keima Davis then provided the power with a lined-shot over the wall in centerfield for a three-run home run to give the Tide a 5-0 lead.
