A berth in the Women’s College World Series will have to wait another year for Clemson.
No. 6 Texas scored early and often and held on to defeat No. 11 Clemson 6-5 at Red & Charline McCombs Field in Austin, earning a trip to Oklahoma City and next week’s WCWS. Texas improves to 52-11 while Clemson falls to 48-14 and its season comes to a close.
The Tigers scored two runs in the top of the seventh on Julia Knowler's two-run homer, her 15th this season, to trim the Longhorn advantage from three runs to just one.
