Good morning, Tuscaloosa.

A fundraiser for Caring Days is set by local organizers to support community programs.

More details on time and place will be shared soon + check local outlets for updates.

Windy storms on Monday afternoon toppled trees and left over 100,000 people without power across Alabama, with Tuscaloosa County reporting more than 6,200 outages; Alabama Power crews are working to restore electricity amid rising temperatures.

Residents are urged to stay safe + informed as restoration times may change.

Alabama’s softball team beat Nebraska by a score of 5 to 1 at Devon Park on Saturday, snapping Nebraska’s 27-game winning streak as Marlie Giles hit a three-run homer that marked the team’s 100th home run this season.

The Crimson Tide will face Texas Tech today (6:00 p.m. CT).

Senior catcher Brady Neal powered the Tide to a Tuscaloosa Regional win by hitting a three-run homer and earning MVP honors despite a dislocated thumb.

He helped set the team two wins away from their super regional berth.

New Alabama left tackle Jackson Lloyd is set to start after Kadyn Proctor left for the NFL.

Coach Ryan Grubb praised Lloyd’s spring performance (which drew NFL comparisons to Jake Long) as he worked hard to secure his spot and build a strong offensive line.

Crimson Tide catcher Johnny Lemm played through a broken finger from a foul ball at the recent region championship while right fielder Peyton Steele left the game with a suspected hamstring injury.

Coach Rob Vaughn praised Lemm’s resolve + said Steele could return this week after proper rehab.

Alabama softball addressed outfield miscommunication errors noted in Nebraska’s game, with coach Patrick Murphy (who highlighted the challenge of crowd noise) saying Monday’s WCWS semifinal at Devon Park against Texas Tech exposed issues the team worked to fix to preserve its championship run.

Alabama baseball clinched the Tuscaloosa region championship on May 31 after an 11-inning win over Oklahoma State; the team now awaits its next opponent as the Tuscaloosa Super Regional starts Friday, June 5 at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
