OFFICIAL SOFTBALL THREAD: CLEMSON vs. No.14 VA Tech

CUTrevor 2021-02-19 11:10:25


The Tigers are 3-0 and beat the Hokies 8-1 yesterday thanks to Valerie Cagle's second complete game. She has yet to allow an earned run. The last game she didn't pitch, she hit a pair of 2-run HR's and saved the game on the mound. Game 2 is at noon, and they'll play game 3 right after that. 

You can watch on your computer via Watch ESPN or your phone on the ESPN app, and I'll have live updates right here!

Still scoreless in the bottom of the 2nd. Cagle is pitching for the second day in a row!

Cagle just allowed her first run of the season after a leadoff walk and a double. She has 2 outs now with a runner on 2nd.

Ugh 2-out double makes it 2-0. I think it's time to give Cagle a rest and see if there's another pitcher in the pen!

Cagle gave up 4 more runs in the 3rd with 3 singles and a homer. Coach should have listened to me and pulled her after the 2nd! Poor girl's arm must be hanging. Plus you just can't give a good team that many consecutive looks at the same pitcher, no matter how good she is. Caymol came in from the pen after the homer to finish the inning.


TIGERS TRAIL 6-0 AFTER 3.

Hokies added 3 more runs, and the mercy rule was invoked after 5 innings. Tigers skunked! The rubber match will begin shortly.

Ugh Thompson has already given up 2 runs in the top of the 1st. She gave up a leadoff single followed by a steal and another steal to make it 1-0, and then after a K swinging, she gave up a double to make it 2-0. After a walk and an infield fly, she's got 2 on with 2 outs. 11 unanswered runs by the Hokies today!

Thompson gave up a leadoff double, and Spencer came out of the pen. She gave up a single but was able to get out of the inning without another run.

Still 3-0, top of the 6th. The Tigers are hitless so far. I'm getting ready to head over to Doug Kingsmore for the baseball game. I'll update softball from there!

Mattimore ends the no-hitter with a one-out single up the middle. HR hitters Cagle and Guimbarda up next!

Ugh Cagle fouled out on the first pitch. Great play by left fielder against the wall. RISP with 2 outs for Guimbarda, who homered yesterday for the second time.

GUIMBARDA RBI DOUBLE!! She ripped it down the 3rd base line to give the Tigers their first run of the day! Tigers end the no-hitter and shutout in the 6th. RISP for Stuart.
