The second-seeded Clemson softball team's offense came alive in the seventh inning facing elimination, as the Tigers defeated third-seeded Troy for the second time in as many days, 4-2. Clemson moves to Championship Sunday, where they will look to avenge their loss to No. 3 national seed Alabama on Sunday at 2 p.m.
The Tigers will need to defeat the Crimson Tide twice in the championship round to advance to the program's first-ever Super Regional.
After going cold for most of the day, the Clemson offense finally found the bats in the seventh when they needed them most, scoring four runs on three hits in the top of the seventh and putting the ball in Valerie Cagle's glove in the circle to close the game out.
