Brown sets Tone in Game 1 of Super Regional
When Alex Brown stepped up to the plate to open the Austin (Texas) Super Regional on Thursday night, she was not intimidated.
Clemson’s third baseman was not intimidated by the 1,500 fans at McCombs Field, in Austin. She was not intimidated by the atmosphere. She was not intimidated by the moment, and most importantly, she was not intimidated by Texas ace Teagan Kavan.
The Texas Longhorns pitcher came into Game 1 of the Super Regional with a 23-4 record and with an array of pitches that keep batters off balance and uncomfortable.
But Brown opened the game with base hit to leftfield. And even though the game was delayed an hour and a half after her single, it did not change her approach.
