TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Saturday’s game against Georgia was a full house at Rhodes Stadium with 3,940 fans.

Ally Shipman came up big for the Tide in the bottom of the 4th with a solo shot over the center wall. Coach Patrick Murphy was thrown out in the bottom of the 5th on a horrible check swing call with the bases loaded. Two-run home run for Georgia at the top of the 6th to extend their lead 5-1.
