After winning the first two games<\/a> of the Candrea Classic on Friday, the Tide had a rematch with the Huskies followed by the Saturday marquee game with Arizona.<\/p>\n

GAME 3: ALABAMA 7, WASHINGTON 3<\/h3>\n

Bama Lineup:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. 3B Brooke Ellestad L<\/li>\n
  2. DH Alexis Pupillo L<\/li>\n
  3. C Marlie Giles R<\/li>\n
  4. P Catelyn Riley R – hit for herself<\/li>\n
  5. RF Larissa Preuitt L<\/li>\n
  6. 1B Abby Duchscherer R<\/li>\n
  7. 2B Kali Heivilin R<\/li>\n
  8. LF Audrey Vandagriff L<\/li>\n
  9. CF Kristen White L<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    * SS Salen Hawkins – did not bat<\/p>\n

    In a somewhat surprising development, Patrick Murphy <\/strong>went back to Catelyn Riley<\/strong> as the Game 3 starter in the circle. The Gut\u00ae was super impressed with the Ole Miss transfer\u2019s performance against droopy drawers Michigan State that he ran her back out there and again had her bat for herself. Granted she won that game 5-1 and hit a home run, but Sparty is really bad. And that pitcher who gave up the long-ball? She had a 6.76 ERA last year and 6.14 the year before. Saturday was a little different outcome. Could Riley duplicate against UW? Yes and no. Outside of a 1st inning gaffe, she was good. But her spot in the batting order was not great.<\/p>\n

    In the bottom of the 1st, a fielding error by SS Salen Hawkins<\/strong> and a Huskies single put two on for Kalen DeBoer<\/strong>\u2019s daughter, Alexis DeBoer<\/strong>, who sent the ball into the stratosphere.<\/p>\n

    Alabama finally got on the board in the 4th as Larissa Preuitt <\/strong>hit a leadoff home run.<\/p>\n

    Later in that same inning, Audrey Vandagriff<\/strong> – who is still batting 8th for some Gut\u00ae reason, had an infield single and proceeded to steal second base AND third base. But alas, she was again stranded.<\/p>\n

    Bama put two runners on base in the 5th but could not push a run across home plate. This feat was duplicated in the 6th but this time, Brooke Ellestad<\/strong> was not wasting the opportunity as she crushed her first four-bagger as a member of the Crimson Tide. Bama followed with two more singles, but Riley ended the inning with a foul out.<\/p>\n

    The Tide was not done yet. In the 7th, Vandagriff followed a pair of walks with a sac fly that made the score 5-3. Kristen White <\/strong>singled and took second on the throw. Ellestad was hit by pitch to load the bases. Alexis Pupillo<\/strong> singled in two more runs to make it 7-3.<\/p>\n
