Back-to-back no-hitters lead’s UA to Fall Brawl sweep

TUSCALOOSA | Sophomore Amanda Locke and junior Kelsi Dunne threw back-to-back no-hitters to lead Alabama to two victories Sunday in Fall Brawl III at the Alabama Softball Complex. Alabama swept through all three weekends, posting a 6-0 record over the fall season.

Locke pitched all seven innings of the first game and also hit a home run in the first inning to propel the Crimson Tide to a 4-0 win over Chipola College.

Locke issued just one walk and struck out 11 in the no-hitter. Senior Charlotte Morgan was 2-for-3 with a RBI while freshman Courtney Conley also drove in a run.

In the second game, Dunne looked to be in All-American form as she struck out 13 in six innings against Wallace State for an 8-0 Tide victory.

Crimson Tide junior infielder Whitney Larsen led off the game with a home run and the Crimson Tide never looked. Catherine Dozier had a two-run single, Conley had a two-run double and Lauren Sewell had an RBI single and an RBI double.
