OFFICIAL SATURDAY SOFTBALL THREAD: NO.6 CLEMSON at No.21 VA Tech

CUTrevor 2023-04-28 12:24:24


The Tigers are coming off a crazy 5-4 loss at Liberty in which they led 4-1 going into the 7th. Cagle showed for the first time this season that she is human, walking in 2 runs in the 7th and giving up the game-winning single. Let's hope that got them fired up for this series! They probably need to sweep this weekend and win the ACC Tournament now to host a Super. And that's easier said than done. The Hokies have had the Tigers' number, sweeping them at McWhorter last season. Fortunately, All-American pitcher Rochard is gone, but they still have a good one in Lemley.

First pitch is at 4:00, and I'll have live updates right here!

No score after 2 in Blacksburg. Cagle and Lemley have each given up one hit. Tigers had bases loaded with 2 outs in the 2nd thanks to 3 walks, but Clark popped up to strand em loaded. I was expecting a pitchers' duel with Lemley in the circle.

Good grief not again! Cagle gave up a leadoff single, a HR and 2 more singles! Tying run is on 1st, winning run at the plate with one out. This is just like Wednesday night all over again!

UN...BE...LIEVABLE!!! Cagle gives up a 3-run walk-off HR with 2 outs! That was EXACTLY like Wednesday night! Suddenly Cagle has developed a choking problem in the 7th! She took a 4-1 lead into the 7th on Wednesday and blew it. 4-0 lead today and blew it. You can't make this stuff up!


TIGERS LOSE 5-4.


The damn Hokies have the Tigers' number! That's 6 straight regular season losses to the Hokies, although the Tigers beat them in the ACC Tourney last season. Not only does that hurt the Tigers' chances of hosting a Super, but that's two straight big leads in the 7th Cagle has blown. Hope it doesn't cost her National Player of the Year!

Game 2 will begin in about 45 minutes.

Good grief Tigers give up 3 runs in the 4th. Thompson gave up a leadoff single and then Moore made an error with one out. Thompson tried to get the out at home on a comebacker, but she was safe. Then Thompson gave up back to back 2-out singles for 2 more runs.McCubbin came in from the pen to get the final out. If only Rittman had brought McCubbin in to close the 7th earlier! Tigers can't avoid the big inning lately!

Good grief Oda strikes out to strand em loaded. I knew Rittman should have pinch hit for her! A 2-out single would have tied the game. Now the Tigers are down to their final 3 outs. Tigers are choking away opportunities while the Chokies are coming up clutch.

TIGERS LOSE 3-1.
