LSU Softball Season Ends in Tuscaloosa Super Regional as Tigers Fall 4-1 to Alabama
Play was paused in the bottom of the fourth with Alabama ahead 4-1 as thunderstorms moved through the area, officials said.
On Saturday, the top-seeded Alabama Crimson Tide defeated the LSU Tigers 4-1 at Rhoads Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, clinching a berth in the 2026 Women's College World Series.
Two lightning delays forced over four hours of stoppage time, significantly complicating the rematch for both the Crimson Tide and Tigers at the stadium.
Alexis Pupillo ignited Alabama's offense with a solo home run in the fourth inning; Salen Hawkins followed with a two-run single against LSU pitcher Jayden Heavener to secure the 4-1 lead.
The loss ended LSU's 2026 season with a 40-19 record, while Alabama starter Vic Moten earned the win and Jocelyn Briski recorded her fourth save of the season.
Finishing with a 54-7 record, the Crimson Tide advances to their 16th Women's College World Series appearance, extending their tournament legacy.
