It's the most wonderful time of the year for college softball fans, and for the 21st straight postseason, Rhoads Stadium will be hosting an NCAA regional as Alabama earned the No. 1 overall seed after finishing the regular season with a 49-7 record. The Crimson Tide is one of four teams that will be playing at Rhoads this weekend alongside USC Upstate, Belmont and Southeastern Louisiana. Alabama opens play in the double-elimination weekend against USC Upstate on Friday at noon CT on SEC Network, while Belmont and SELA will square off in the second game. Those two teams have been two of the best mid-major teams in college softball this season and both have wins over teams that are hosting a regional this weekend. Belmont ace Maya Johnson leads the nation with a 0.66 ERA, and Southeastern Louisiana has the No. 4 team era at 1.67. It should be a weekend full of entertaining softball games in Tuscaloosa. The names may seem familiar to Tide fans, and for good reason.β¦
