Â
Troy (29-20) jumped out to a 2-0 lead as Michelle Phelps led off the fourth inning with a home run over the wall in left field for the first run of the game and Becca Hartley homered to center field in the fifth inning for the second Trojan run of the game.
Â
Jaycee Affeldt (15-9) suffered the loss for Troy as pitched six innings and allowed five runs, only one earned and struck out five.
Â
No. 5 Alabama (36-10) tied the game in the fifth inning as two runs crossed the plate on an error. The Crimson Tide took the lead later in the inning as Jadyn Spencer doubled home two runs to give Alabama a 4-2 lead.
Â
The Crimson Tide scored one more run in the top of the sixth as Chandler Dare singled through the left side and scored Kallie Case, to go ahead 5-2.
