TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – The Arizona State Sun Devils beat the Lipscomb Bisons, 10-1 in six innings in the second elimination game of the 2019 NCAA Softball Tuscaloosa Regional in Rhoads Stadium Saturday night.
Arizona State returns Sunday at 1 p.m. CT in the potential regional championship game, facing the Alabama Crimson Tide. A win Sunday by the Crimson Tide would advance them to the NCAA Super Regional, while an Arizona State victory would force a deciding game seven.
