Clemson knows the recipe for success against Alabama. Now it needs to execute it, and it has to do it twice on Sunday.
The Tigers started the day Saturday with a 6-0 loss to the Crimson Tide, but bounced back with a 4-2 win over Troy to avoid elimination from the NCAA Softball Tournament.
Now, Clemson is set to face Alabama again in the Tuscaloosa (Alabama) Regional championship round. The Tigers need to win twice to advance to an NCAA Super regional next weekend.
Head coach John Rittman felt his team used up a lot of mental and physical energy in the loss to one of the best pitchers in the country in Montana Fonts in the loss to the Tide.
