OKLAHOMA CITY -- You can't always be perfect. Alabama softball found that out quickly Sunday.
Montana Fouts made huge news Friday after she sat down 21 UCLA batters to throw the fifth perfect game in Women's College World Series history.
Alabama had momentum and a day of rest heading into Sunday's showdown with No. 10 Florida State.
Then the rain hit, and after a nearly three-hour delay, Alabama was washed away by the pitching efforts of Caylan Arnold and Kathryn Sandercock, who combined for a two-hit shutout, 2-0.
"Maybe the delay hurt us a little bit," Alabama coach Patrick Murphy said. "I don't know, because I thought we were ready to go. And then you have to sit back and wait a little bit and come back out."
Alabama needs to beat the Seminoles on Monday to reach the championship series, which starts Tuesday. James Madison and Oklahoma are playing in the earlier semifinal.
Lexi Kilfoyl took the loss, allowing two runs on seven hits with nine strikeouts. There won't be any surprise with who gets the ball in the second meeting with FSU.
Fouts, on two days rest has allowed just one run and two hits in 14 innings with 30 strikeouts.
As far as Alabama hitters are concerned, seeing Arnold and Sandercock in the first matchup is actually a good thing.
"We got to see both their pitchers tonight," Morgan said. "It's going to be beneficial for tomorrow. Tomorrow it's you win or you lose. So we're going to be ready."
