The Crimson Tide will play eight fall games, including seven at Rhoads Stadium
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Alabama softball took the field together for the first time this fall Friday afternoon at Rhoads Stadium.
#Team27 returns 13 players from last year's squad, including All-America Montana Fouts and All-SEC honorees Ashley Prange, Ally Shipman and Bailey Dowling. The Tide also welcomes four freshmen and three transfers.
The Crimson Tide will play eight exhibition games this fall, opening with the Sand Mountain Showdown on Wednesday, Oct. 12 at 6 p.m. CT against Jacksonville State in Albertville, Ala. The game was originally scheduled last spring but was postponed due to inclement weather. Tickets from the originally scheduled game are valid for the new contest in the fall.
Three days later on Saturday, Oct. 15 the Crimson Tide will host Georgia Tech for a doubleheader at Rhoads Stadium starting at 1:30 p.m. CT. The home slate continues with a doubleheader against Copiah-Lincoln on Sunday, Oct. 23 at 1:30 p.m. CT, a split doubleheader with Wallace State and Birmingham Southern on Saturday, Oct. 29 at 2 p.m. CT and a single game against Emory University on Friday, Nov. 4 at 6 p.m. CT.
Admission for fall games is $5 and tickets will be sold at the gate (cash and credit only). All proceeds from fall softball games benefit the Bama Softball Walk-Off Club, the official booster club for Alabama softball. Fans who have not joined the club will have an opportunity to sign up at the fall games.
