TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama head coach Patrick Murphy earned his 700th career victory and senior Kelsi Dunne set the career strikeout record behind a 5-2 win over Mississippi State, Sunday afternoon at Rhoads Stadium. With the win, Alabama claims the sweep over MSU and improves to 41-5 overall and 15-4 in Southeastern Conference play.
"I've never played a game but being able to have consistent players over 14 years has attributed to that," Murphy said referring to his 700th career victory. "It was great to have all the alumni in town this weekend as well to share in this moment."
Dunne turned in another stellar performance and improves her record to 20-2 on the season. Dunne gave up just one earned run off three hits while striking out 11 batters. Dunne retired 12 straight batters starting in the third inning. Junior Amanda Locke went 2-for-3 with a homerun and two runs batted in.
