The Crimson Tide spent 50 minutes practice on the field at Devon Park in Oklahoma City to prepare for UCLA.
OKLAHOMA CITY–– The Alabama softball team took the field at Devon Park in Oklahoma City for 50 minutes on Wednesday afternoon ahead of the Crimson Tide's matchup with No. 6 UCLA in the Women's College World Series.
The first group of hitters consisted of Lauren Esman, Kali Heivilin, Larissa Preuitt, Lauren Johnson and Jenna Johnson. Riley Valentine, Kristen White, Bailey Dowling and Kenleigh Cahalan made up the second group. This leads me to believe that these are the ten that will make up the starting lineup, like it was in Supers. Esman will likely start at first base instead of Emma Broadfoot while Valentine will continue as the designated player.
Valentine has been one of Alabama's hottest hitters as of late, batting .412 with a double and two home runs in the NCAA Tournament. And she was knocking balls out of the park during Wednesday's BP.
