Thank you #team30. Thank you to our seniors who spent all 4 years at Bama and those that found your way here.
What a ride. What a fun team to support.
ROLL TIDE.
Tip of the cap to Nija. She was electric.
When an unbelievably special group of women falls just short, it’s nothing less than heartbreaking and gut-wrenching. But the depth of the pain is a testament to the magnitude of their greatness.
Roll Tide forever.

No. 5 Hewitt-Trussville defeats No. 6 Auburn, 8-0, in Game 2 to capture the Class 7A State Championship and bring home the Blue Map.
An outstanding season comes to a close for both programs. Congrats to both teams on a great 2026 season!

.@HewittAthletics has swept the Class 7A softball and baseball state championships.
We did just a little historical research into programs that won both softball and baseball titles in the same year. Here they are, dating back to 2000:
2019: Mars Hill (1A), GW Long (2A)
2018: GW Long (2A)
2008: Athens Bible (1A)
2005: Baker (6A)
2000: Hartselle (5A)
Hewitt-Trussville is the only Class 7A program to accomplish the feat.
State championships by sport now:
Softball: 2019, 2021, 2023, 2024, 2026
Baseball: 2016, 2026

Hewitt-Trussville Softball State Champs🔥. What a run by Hewitt Softball ! Watching those girls fight through adversity this week has been flat out amazing. Coach Burt - 5 Championships and a Runner-Up since she took over in 2018 and some say her best team would have been Covid year 😳. Build her a statue, make it Coach Burt field , she is a legend! @hewittsoftball@HewittAthletics
🥎 Final: Hewitt-Trussville 2, Thompson 1. (Class 7A State Championship)
In the end, it finished in just four pitches and five minutes. Hewitt completes a torrid run to take down one of the best teams in the country.
Oh. My. Goodness. 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th, and the skies have opened up. We’re in a delay at 11:26pm and the infield is so wet that they can’t complete the tarp job.
Holy cow.
Hewitt-Trussville leads Thompson 2-1, needing one out for the state title.
You can point to a million reasons why this game ran long, but the bottom line is that we should not be deciding the softball state championship at 11:30 p.m. Especially when one team has played seven games in two days.
38-3 (11-3).
Solid dub to take the series! @vic_moten07 was exquisite, and @BrookeWells_3 hits other tank. Congratulations to @UACoachMurphy on 500 SEC wins with the Tide!
Chance to get a road conference sweep tomorrow!
