[RollTideFan] ROLL DAMN TIDE
Alabama Advances to Third Women's College World Series Saturday, May 28, 2005 COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS-It took a little drama, but the eighth-ranked Alabama softball team (62-13) was able to withstand a three-run seventh inning rally and come away with a 6-5 victory over the fifth ranked Texas AM Aggies (47-10) and advance to its third Women's College World Series in six years. I'd like to congratulate Texas AM on a great year, said Alabama head coach Patrick Murphy. Unfortunately somebody had to go home. All 1,200 of the fans got their money's worth because that was a great ball game. For the second straight game, the Crimson Tide took an early lead, again taking advantage of Texas AM miscues. Jackie Wilkins (SR, Miami, Fla.) continued her hot hitting, leading off the game with a single. She was sacrificed to second by Jordan Praytor (Fr, Vancouver, Wash.) and came around to score on an infield single by Ashley Courtney (SR, Vero Beach, Fla.) and a throwing error by Aggie third baseman Jamie Hinshaw. Dominique Accetturo delivered a two-out single through the right side scoring Courtney and Alabama had an early 2-0 lead. I thought it was key (getting ahead), especially against (Amanda) Scarborough, because she's got an under seven ERA and only one loss, said Murphy. I thought if we got ahead again, it would put a lot of pressure on her. The Aggies responded in the top of the second plating two runs on an infield single and a bases loaded walk to tie the game at 2-2. Bama reclaimed the lead in the bottom of the second, again taking advantage of TAMU mistakes. With Leah White (SR, Grayson, Ga.) on second and two outs, Wilkins hit a bouncer to third, but Hinshaw's throw was low, allowing White to score from second and giving the Tide a 3-2 lead. Courtney extended Alabama's lead when she hit Alabama's third lead-off home run of the series, a high solo shot down the right field line for a 4-2 lead. The home run put Courtney in elite company, making her only the second player in Crimson Tide history to record 300 career hits joining former four-time All-America and currently Olympian Kelly Kretschman who finished her career with 368. Courtney was at it again in the bottom of the fourth, this time delivering a two-out single down the right field line scoring Capper Reed (SR, Guntersville, Ala.). Praytor was hit by a pitch, advanced to third on the single and came around to score on a throwing error by Texas AM right fielder Rocky Spencer pushing the Tide's lead to 6-2. The Aggies wouldn't go down without a fight, scoring three runs in the top of the seventh inning before Stephanie VanBrakle (JR, Chambersburg, Pa.) got Joy Davis to ground out to Staci Ramsey (JR, Houston, Texas) at third base, ending the Texas AM rally and sending the Tide to Oklahoma City. VanBrakle (33-6) picked up the win allowing three runs on 11 hits in seven innings of work. She worked into the seventh inning and recorded an out before being pulled for reliever Chrissy Owens (Fr, Miami, Fla.). However after allowing a hit and a walk, VanBrakle was brought back in to close out the game. I never really left the game because I was right there cheering Chrissy on from the bench the whole time, said VanBrakle. Alabama will face the overall fourth seed and fifth ranked Texas Longhorns in the first round of the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City on Thursday, June 2. The game is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. CT and will be televised live on ESPN2. Game Notes: --Dominique Accetturo made he 200th career start. --Stephanie VanBrakle broke school record for strikeouts in a season with her 311th in the top of the first inning. --Ashley Courtney moved to fifth on Alabama's all-time home run list while recording her career high 10th home run of the season. --Courtney became the second player in Alabama history to record 300 hits. --Alabama advances to third WCWS in six years and second in three years. ___ RTF mailing list RTF@rolltidefan.net http://rolltidefan.net/mailman/listinfo/rtf_rolltidefan.net

Rick That is something this team needs to do. I hope I am not reading too much into this last game but my gut tells me this team has turned the corner. Only time and the next four game will tell us for sure. We are certainly heading into the meat of the schedule. With the Vols, LSU and Auburn on the horizon the real test has yet to come.

Thank God for that. One day at a time Joe The study of history is a powerful antidote to contemporary arrogance. It is humbling to discover how many of our glib assumptions, which seem to us novel and plausible, have been tested before, not once but many times and in innumerable guises; and discovered to be, at great human cost, wholly false. --Paul Johnson - Original Message - From: Rick McMahan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: RollTideFan [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 30, 2004 7:45 PM Subject: [RollTideFan] ROLL DAMN TIDE!

I've been out and about today wearing my crimson Alabama t-shirt. I had a lady friend (soccer mom) say, you mean you can still wear that shirt?. All it took was a look and she knew there would be no way I give-up on this team. I refuse to criticize this team. After all they have been through for 9 GD months, we're all fortunate to even have a competitive team on the field. These boys will be fine, they'll put together a game plan for this weekend and I expect them to beat Arkansas, I really really do!!
