I'm no softball coach or expert, but...
...it did seem that Alabama figured her out by the end of the first game.
First 3 innings:
6 strikeouts
4 balls in play, all hit to 3b (2 groundouts, 1 error, 1 sac bunt)
Inning 4:
Foul out to LF (first ball to leave the infield)
Ground out to 1B
Popup to SS
Inning 5:
Ground out to 2B
Fly out to RF
Double to LF (first hit, third ball out of the infield)
Pop up to 2B
Inning 6:
Single to 1B
Error by 2B
Single to RF
Flyout to LF
Flyout to LF
Inning 7:
Ground out to 2B
Single to LF
Single to LF
Fly out to LF
Fly out to LF (diving catch)
Summary:
6 strikeouts in the first 3 innings. 0 strikeouts in the last 4.
0 balls hit to the outfield in the first 3 innings. 10 in the last 4.
Either Lemley suddenly lost her stuff after 3 innings, or they figured something out.

Well, Chip, it's really not about Murphy adjusting. It's about having . . .
