Montana Fouts and Haylie McCleney are two of the most legendary players in Alabama softball program history. While the two's careers never overlapped in Tuscaloosa (Fouts played from 2019-2023 and McCleney from 2013-2016), they have had the opportunity to play together in the professional ranks.

Both Fouts and McCleney were on Team USA in 2022 for the World Games, when the team won the gold medal over Japan. And now, they will get to play together again on Team Alo as part of the Athletes Unlimited Pro Softball competition AUX.

The teams rotate and change based on a draft each series during the competition in Wichita, Kansas, and this weekend, Fouts and McCleney will be on the same team with captain Jocelyn Alo. Team Alo plays Team Mazon on Saturday, June 22 at noon on ESPN2.
