Behind dominant pitching in the circle, the No. 25-ranked Clemson softball team swept both games of Saturday’s doubleheader against the Furman Paladins, 5-0 and 8-1 respectively. The two wins were the 12th and 13th consecutive victories for the Tigers, the longest winning streak in the ACC. Clemson moves to 16-2 overall and has now swept four straight series.
The Tigers move to 30-0 when scoring five or more runs under head coach John Rittman. It’s not all offense that is propelling Clemson on this winning streak though, and the second-year Tigers head coach knows that.
“We’re an explosive offensive team and we can score runs in a variety of ways,” Rittman said after the doubleheader sweep.
