Who does Alabama softball play after Nebraska in Women's College World Series?

[ASFN Admin]

OKLAHOMA CITY — Alabama softball can't stop winning, and it'll try to ride that streak all the way to a Women's College World Series championship.

A 5-1 win over No. 4 seed Nebraska kept the No. 1 seed Crimson Tide in the winners bracket Saturday, May 30 at Devon Park in Oklahoma City.

Marlie Giles started off hot with a three-run homer in the first inning, adding an RBI off a sac fly in the third. Jena Young added the final touch with an RBI single in the fourth.

The Crimson Tide will now face the winner of UCLA vs. Texas Tech in the semifinal round at 6 p.m. CT Monday, June 1 on ESPN2.

Alabama started its Oklahoma City run with a gritty 6-3 win over UCLA, where Alexis Pupillo shot a two-run homer and Brooke Wells added a three-run bomb to give the Crimson Tide the edge.

The last time Alabama faced Texas Tech, the Crimson Tide won the 2017 series with two-straight wins, the final a shutout run rule in six innings.

UCLA and Texas Tech will face off in an elimination round at 6 p.m. CT Sunday, May 31 on ESPN2.
