Another season of full milestones and firsts came to a close Friday for Clemson softball in a 5-1 loss to No. 7 national seed Oklahoma State at Cowgirl Stadium in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
The Cowgirls (46-12) clinched a spot in the Women’s College World Series by sweeping the series in two games, while the 10th-seeded Tigers’ season (42-17) finished in a first Super Regional in only Clemson’s second full season with a program.
Clemson hosted its first NCAA Regional last week and swept the field with an 18-0 run. Tiger pitching held NCAA Tournament opponents scoreless for 22 1/3 innings until the Cowgirls broke through for two runs in the fifth inning of game one’s 2-0 decision.
