CLEMSON — There are several reasons why No. 11 national seed Clemson has won 41 of its last 47 games on the softball diamond.
The Tigers, who host the Clemson (NCAA) Regional this weekend at McWhorter Stadium, have star players like All-American Maddie Moore, All-ACC third baseman Alex Brown, catcher Aby Vieira and first baseman Julia Knowler to help pick the team up at the plate and in the field.
Freshmen Macy Cintron, Marian Collins and Taylor Pipkins bring a youthful energy to the dugout, while also making clutch plays in big-game situations.
Then there are the two leaders in the circle – ACC Pitcher of the Year Reese Basinger and perhaps the Tigers’ most improved player Brook McCubbin.
