Alabama Softball's Bailey Hemphill, Montana Fouts on WCWS All-Tournament Team

Crimson Tide slugger Hemphill hit .500 in the World Series with two home runs and five RBIs; Fouts had 35 strikeouts and pitched a perfect game

Alabama's Bailey Hemphill and Montana Fouts left Oklahoma City without a national title, but the duo did come away with some honors.

Hemphill, a UA graduate, and Fouts, a junior, earned Women's College World Series All-Tournament team recognition.

Hemphill, the SEC Player of the Year and all-time Crimson Tide home run leader (64) was 5-for-10 with five runs, five RBIs, with a double and two homers in four games.

Fouts, the SEC Co-Pitcher of the Year, dominated the first two games, allowing just one run on two hits and tied a career high in strikeouts with 16 in a 5-1 win against Arizona. She followed that with a perfect game against UCLA, with 15 strikeouts.

She was roughed up for seven runs on six hits in an 8-5 loss to Florida State, eliminating the Crimson Tide from the tournament.

Alabama finished the season 52-9.
