LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Though Clemson was unable to finish the job in the ACC Softball Championships on Saturday, pitcher Valerie Cagle showed everyone why she is the best player in the conference.
Cagle was outstanding in the Tigers’ 1-0 loss to Duke in the ACC Championship Game. She struck out 13 batters and allowed just two hits in a third consecutive complete game in the tournament.
“I could not be more proud of Valerie, she didn’t give up a run all weekend until today,” Clemson head coach John Rittman said after the game. “The way they scored their run is very frustrating, but that’s softball.
