TROY, Alabama – Troy fell to No. 9 Alabama, 8-0, Sunday afternoon at the Troy Softball Complex in the final game of the season-opening Trojan Classic.

Troy finished the opening weekend 3-2 with a pair of victories over Maryland out of the Big 10 and one win over Murray State.

Alabama (5-0) broke up a scoreless game with a seven-spot in the fourth inning. The Tide opened their big inning with a double followed by back-to-back singles to start the scoring. Another pair of singles with runners on stretched Alabama's lead to 7-0 at the end of the frame.

Troy (3-2) was unable to answer in the bottom of the fourth and fifth and a solo home run in the top of the sixth solidified a run-rule victory for Alabama.

Montana Foust (2-0) recorded her second win with the Tide after she scattered three hits and struck out four Troy batters over six innings of work. Leanna Johnson (2-1) suffered her first loss as a Trojan after she was charged with four runs on three hits over 3.2 innings.

Talia Truitt, Logan Calhoun and Bailey Taylor all scattered a hit to lead the Trojans, while Skylar Wallace went 1- or-2 with a pair of RBIs to lead the Tide.

Next up, Troy heads to Orlando, Fla., to compete in the Diamond 9 Citrus Classic. Troy's first game will be Friday morning at 11 a.m. (CT) against Stetson.
