14-run second inning lifts Tigers past Maryland

After scoring 12 runs in the seventh inning against St. John’s less than one week ago, the Clemson Softball team dialed up 14 runs in the second inning on the way to winning 21-2 over Maryland Saturday at the Clemson Softball Stadium.

The first-year Tigers, who are riding a three-game win streak, are now one win over .500 at 5-4 overall. Clemson’s explosive offensive performance was led by freshman right-handed pitcher/outfielder Valerie Cagle, who homered twice on the day, including a grand slam in the second and a three-run shot in the third, and infielder Bailey Taylor who also hit a grand slam in three batters prior to Cagle the same inning.
