Clemson softball head coach John Rittman pinched himself on Sunday to make sure he was not in a dream.
The Tigers made history on Sunday afternoon with a 19-2 win over Syracuse to claim the programs first ACC regular season title in their first full season of competition.
Eleventh-ranked Clemson finished the regular season 40-5 overall and 29-5 in the ACC to secure its top bid to the ACC Softball Tournament in Louisville, Ky., as the No. 1 seed. Rittman felt like he was living out a dream following the monumental win.
“This is such a remarkable feeling and words can’t describe it and like I said in a couple of interviews this year I just have to pinch myself to make sure this is real because of the success we have had,” Rittman said.
