There's been a No. 1-ranked softball team in Knoxville the past 11 weeks, and there will be one playing at Tyson Park this weekend - Alabama.
The No. 2-ranked Lady Vols play host to newly crowned No. 1-ranked Alabama in an ESPN2 televised doubleheader Saturday beginning at 1 p.m.
"I think we're a top-three team, and we have been all year,'' said Ralph Weekly, who along with his wife, Karen, serves as UT's co-head coach. "Alabama is deserving of the No. 1 ranking. They've won 16 straight and we haven't.''
Former Texas All-American Cat Osterman, who shares the NCAA career strikeout record with Lady Vols' ace Monica Abbott, will serve as color commentator for ESPN this weekend.
