Following their by a score of five-inning triumph against the town of Longwood on Friday, the Alabama softball team wrapped up the second half of their doubleheader against Georgia Tech with a thrilling 3-1 win in a defensive contest. However, in contrast to earlier in the day, the focus was on the Crimson Tide’s defense and freshman Jocelyn Briski’s debut in the mound. Left fielder Jenna Johnson opened the game with a single, but the next three batters were retired on two flyouts and a strikeout, indicating an early difficulty for Alabama’s offense. In the third inning, Abby Duchscherer recorded the Tide’s second hit of the game, and the tide started to change. Her double to left center field enabled shortstop Kenleigh Cahalan to score the game’s opening run.

This raised spirits paid off for Alabama in the bottom of the fourth inning as doubles from Lauren Johnson and Kali Heivilin added two more runs to make the score 3-0. Unfortunately, it would be the last of the Tide’s offensive output for the remainder of the encounter.

The emphasis of the contest shifted to the Tide’s defensive play at this time. The fact that so few balls were leaving the infield for rookie pitcher Jocelyn Briski to handle was a major contributing factor to Georgia Tech’s hitting difficulties.

Nevertheless, Mallorie Black of Georgia Tech launched a high and long drive to left center with a man on first and a woman on second in the bottom of the fourth, but Jenna Johnson sprang up to stop the game-tying home run. Given how significantly it changed the result, it was a “That’ll be on ESPN tomorrow evening,” kind of performance.

The rest of the way was handled by Briski, but in the bottom of the seventh inning, Black hit a single home run that had the spectators on edge once more. The game was finished three batters later, though, so Briski didn’t seem to be too phased by it.
