On Sunday, No. 15 Alabama softball (31-11, 8-9 SEC) aims to build on their recent triumph over the No. 14 Arkansas Razorbacks (31-11, 10-7 SEC) at Bogle Park in Fayetteville, Ark. Following a tense series opener in which Arkansas narrowly claimed a 1-0 victory in extra innings, Alabama responded forcefully on Saturday night, clinching a 5-1 win thanks to a decisive fifth inning three-run home run by Jenna Johnson.

Last meeting: Alabama knocked Arkansas out of the SEC Tournament quarterfinals as the host team last season. Montana Fouts left the game with an injury, and the Tide won, 3-2 in extra innings. However, the Razorbacks did win the regular season series in Tuscaloosa last season.
Last time out, Alabama: The Crimson Tide is coming off a disappointing performance against Texas A&M. After winning the first game of the series at home, Alabama dropped the final two in blowout fashion. The Tide held a late-lead in Game 3, but the pitching and defense fell apart for the Aggies to secure the series win.
