Prior to the bottom of the sixth inning on Friday, the saying in the Clemson dugout was, “Why not us?”
At the time, the second seeded Tigers trailed No. 3 Virginia Tech by seven runs and had just allowed a four-run top of the sixth inning.
“You know, it was, ‘Why not us?’ What do we have to lose at this point. Just go in there, be confident and swing at good pitches,” second baseman Maddie Moore said on the ACCN after the game.
That is exactly what they did, and it worked.
Clemson was disciplined, only swung at good pitches and came back.
