Alabama sophomore pitcher Jackie Traina dominated in her second complete game of the day. Traina allowed only four hits, two earned runs and struck out nine batters in seven innings.
"You have to give Jackie Traina a lot of credit," said Auburn head coach Tina Deese. "We were able to generate a little bit of offense against her, but we could never string anything together."
The Tigers travel to Oxford for a series against the Ole Miss Rebels Friday. First pitch is set for 6 p.m.
