We played a great game other than not being able to push a few runs across the plate. The good thing it's a double elimination.
Jaclyn Traina threw a four-hitter, Leona Lafaele hit a two-run homer and Alabama beat Southeastern Conference rival Kentucky 2-0 on Friday night in the Women’s College World Series.
Alabama (52-11) needs one win to reach the best-of-three championship series and won’t play again until Sunday. Kentucky (50-18) will play Baylor or Florida State in an elimination game Saturday.
Traina (25-3), who pitched Alabama to the 2012 national title, had allowed two hits in 13 innings in two WCWS games before Kentucky loaded the bases on three singles with no outs in the seventh. Traina struck out Emily Gaines and coaxed a double-play grounder from Krystal Smith to end the threat.
Traina had a no-hitter until Sylver Samuel beat out an infield single with two outs in the sixth.
Kelsey Nunley (30-10) threw a three-hitter for the Wildcats, but gave up the homer to Lafaele in the second inning.
Kentucky will play again at 7 p.m. Saturday against the winner of the Florida State v Baylor game earlier in the day. They tourney is double-elimination.
