West Alabama vs Lee University DH Replay | FloSoftball

West Alabama secured a doubleheader sweep against Lee University on April 18, 2026, winning both games in a softball twinbill hosted in Livingston, Alabama. The Tigers claimed victory in the first game by a score of 5-2 before closing out the second game with a 3-1 win, completing the day’s slate of conference play.

The opening game began with Lee University taking an early lead, but West Alabama responded with a three-run third inning that shifted momentum. Key contributions came from the Tigers’ middle order, including RBI singles that drove in runs and helped establish control. Lee managed to add a run in the fifth and another in the seventh, but West Alabama’s bullpen held firm in the final innings to preserve the advantage.

In the second game, West Alabama struck first with a run in the second inning, followed by two more in the fourth to build a 3-0 lead. Lee University answered with a solo run in the sixth, but could not generate further offense against a disciplined Tigers pitching staff. West Alabama’s starting pitcher went the distance in the second game, recording seven strikeouts while allowing only four hits and one earned run.

The sweep improved West Alabama’s standing in the Gulf South Conference, where they now hold a favorable position heading into the final stretch of the regular season. The Tigers have demonstrated consistent performance in recent conference matchups, particularly in close games decided by two runs or fewer.

Lee University, meanwhile, dropped to .500 in conference play after the loss. The Flames showed flashes of offensive capability but struggled to produce in high-leverage situations across both games. Their pitching staff faced challenges with command, issuing a combined five walks over the twinbill.

Both teams are scheduled to return to action later in the week, with West Alabama hosting a midweek non-conference opponent before embarking on a road series. Lee University will look to regroup ahead of their next conference matchup, aiming to regain momentum in the latter half of the season.
