After a long offseason, Clemson softball is ready to take the diamond in the River City Leadoff Tournament in Jacksonville, Fla. this weekend.
The Tigers will start the season by playing Illinois State at noon on Friday.
Clemson launched the program last season with a 19-8 record overall that included a 4-1 win over No. 14 Georgia and a 5-1 mark in the ACC before the COVID-19 pandemic brought the successful campaign to a screeching halt.
Head coach John Rittman touched on his appreciation for all of the people that made the 2021 season possible in Clemson’s softball media availability on Tuesday.
