Watch Alabama softball centerfielder Kristen White rob a home run against Northwestern

Alabama softball entered the bottom of the fourth inning with a slim 1-0 lead in the Tuscaloosa Super Regional on Saturday night at Rhoads Stadium.

Crimson Tide centerfielder Kristen White did everything she could do to keep that lead for her team. She made a leaping catch against the centerfield wall to rob Northwestern shortstop Maeve Nelson of a solo shot to lead off the top of the fourth inning.

Watch the replay of the play here:

Alabama starting pitched Jaala Torrence retired the final two hitters of the inning to end the fourth inning.

The Tide took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning when Bailey Downing drove in Ashley Prange on a sacrifice fly. Prange had led the game off with a double.

Northwestern tied the game in the bottom of the fifth on an RBI single by Jordyn Rudd.

The Crimson Tide dropped the opener of the Super Regional 3-1 to the Wildcats and needs a win Saturday to keep its season alive.
