Clemson softball is headed to super regionals for the first time in program history following an 8-0 shutout against Louisiana at McWhorter Stadium on Sunday
After getting out to an early 1-0 lead, Clemson’s bats came alive in the fourth inning. Highlighted by Valerie Cagle’s three-RBI homer, the Tigers scored seven runs in the fourth off six hits and two home runs, ultimately making a Louisiana comeback insurmountable and ending the game in five.
Batting first in the order, Clemson second baseman Cammy Pereira finished the game 3-for-3 at the plate. Meanwhile, Millie Thompson delivered another impressive performance in the circle, throwing a five-inning shutout with five strikeouts while allowing just one hit.
“There’s just so much to be proud of,” said head coach John Rittman. “To win a regional championship in our third year of existence is just mind-blowing. It’s just a credit to our administration, President Clements, our athletic director Graham Neff, everybody who’s been involved in our program.”
In Clemson’s three games in regionals, the Tigers didn’t allow a single run, outscoring their opponents 18-0.
With the victory, Clemson will either travel to No. 7 seed Oklahoma State or host North Texas in super regionals.
