Title: Alabama softball lands No. 2 seed
Post by: pmull on May 16, 2011, 08:01:16 AM
TUSCALOOSA | The University of Alabama softball team was awarded the No. 2 overall seed in the NCAA Tournament and can earn its way to the Women's College World Series without ever leaving home.

The Crimson Tide (46-8) learned Sunday night that it will host the Tuscaloosa Regional and will play Southwestern Athletic Conference champion Jackson State (26-20) in the first round, which opens later this week.

Memphis (35-12), an at-large pick from Conference-USA, will play Southern Conference champion Chattanooga (42-12) in the other first-round matchup at the double-elimination regional.

If the seeds hold, Alabama will host No. 15 seed Stanford in a best-of-three NCAA Super Regional the following week in Tuscaloosa. Stanford is hosting Nebraska, Fresno State and Pacific in its regional.

I really like our chances with the double elimination format and then on to a best of 3 series.

Not to mention the Regional and Super-Regional will be in Tuscaloosa where we are unbeaten this year.

Jackson is not a state.
