On Friday in Baton Rouge, Alabama softball lost Game 1 to LSU after the Tigers built an early 3 to 0 lead and then extended it to 8 to 0 with three runs in the third inning and two in the fifth—leaving the Crimson Tide with two games to overcome the deficit in the series.

Justin Lebron hit a homer in the ninth inning that gave Alabama two runs and a 6 to 5 win over Auburn as pitcher Riley Quick returned after a week off because of a blood blister—game three will be played Saturday at 7:00 p.m. at Plainsman Park.

On April 5, hundreds of runners raced in the Tuscaloosa Gauntlet at Sokol Park + Buddy Powell Pavilion as they tackled a tough course.
