Clemson is one step closer to a berth in the Women’s College World Series.
The No. 11 Tigers scored four runs in the sixth inning and held on to defeat No. 6 Texas 7-4 in game one of the Super Regional Thursday night at Red & Charline McCombs Field in Austin, Texas. The game was delayed after just four pitches for around 90 minutes due to lightning in the area. The win is the first Super Regional win for the program.
Clemson improves to 48-12 while Texas falls to 49-11. Game two of the best-of-three series is set for 9 pm Friday and will be televised on ESPN2.
