The Alabama Crimson Tide are one win away from advancing to the next round of the NCAA Softball Tournament, but they got off to a rough start on Sunday afternoon.
Trailing Arizona State 5-0, Alabama (who entered the tourney as the No. 8 overall seed nationally) cut it to 5-1 and then loaded the bases for slugger Bailey Hemphill.
As you can see below, Hemphill didn’t disappoint, launching a game-tying grand slam over the left-center field wall:

Alabama now leads 6-5 in the top of the sixth inning with a spot in the super regionals on the line.
Hemphill has been a big reason for the Tide’s success thus far, so it’s no surprise she came up with a clutch hit like this one.
