TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Despite scattering more hits than its opponent, the 13th-ranked University of Georgia softball team was shut out by #5 Alabama Sunday evening, 4-0.Â
Â

Â
In the circle, Alley Cutting (7-4) went the distance, pitching six innings, allowing two earned runs.Â

With a runner on first and one out, back-to-back Bulldog errors by the left side of the infield allowed an Alabama (41-4, 10-4) run to touch home in the first inning, 1-0. An RBI single by Merris Schroder lengthened the Tide lead in the third to two, 2-0.Â
Â
A two-run home run by Schroder in the fifth widened the lead to 4-0 for Alabama. Prior to the home run, Bryan robbed a would-be home run in centerfield for the first out of the inning.Â
