The Clemson softball team will be hosting first softball regional

The Clemson softball team will be web hosting their initially softball regional in just their third time as a software.

The Tigers (39-10) will be the #10 seed and will enjoy the UNC Wilmington Seahawks (32-13). The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns (45-11) and the Auburn Tigers (39-15) will be the other two teams hosted at McWhorter Stadium.

The Oklahoma Sooners are the overall #1 seed with a 49-2 record.

Other ACC educational institutions web hosting regionals are ACC Champions Florida Condition, Virginia Tech & Duke

The ACC obtained six groups in total. Notre Dame will be in the Northwestern regional, and Georgia Tech will be in the Florida regional.

Clemson was let down when they weren’t specified the option to host past year. They played a more durable schedule in 2022, but they acquired the regard of the variety committee. The Tigers defeated total #3 seed Virginia Tech in the ACC match in advance of slipping to over-all #2 seed Florida Point out in the championship match, ending as the ACC runner-up for the second year in a row.

The winner of the Clemson regional will encounter the winner of the Oklahoma State regional in the super regional. If Clemson wins their regional and the Cowboys really do not acquire theirs, the Tigers will have an opportunity to host the tremendous regional as very well.

This is a phenomenal accomplishment for Mentor John Rittman and his staff. To be awarded a regional in just the third time of the program’s is existence is spectacular by by itself. What helps make it even extra outstanding is that Rittman has attained this in the course of the COVID-19 pandemic. The inaugural 2020 was minimize short and the 2021 non-meeting schedule was constrained due to ongoing worries about journey and needless call.

UNC Wilmington captured an automatic berth in the playoffs by profitable their 1st Colonial Athletic Association championship 10-2 from the Elon Phoenix. The Seahawks’ Mary Sobataka crushed her next vocation grand slam in the title sport.

Louisiana acquire the Sun Belt championship above the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers. They will have the longest journey of the a few viewing groups in the Clemson regional.

Auburn has slash their tooth in the really competitive SEC. They misplaced in the 1st spherical of their convention match to Missouri.

Clemson is the most loved to progress from their regional, but I completely anticipate the Auburn Tigers to give them every little thing they can deal with. They are led on the mound by sophomore Maddie Penta, a suitable-handed pitcher named to the All-SEC initially team. Infielder Bri Ellis was named SEC Freshman of the Yr. She bats .300 on the year, has 18 house operates, 42 hits and 45 RBIs.

That mentioned, I anticipate Clemson will advance from their regional to enjoy in the program’s initial tremendous regional.

Regional enjoy starts Friday, Could 20th. The College or university Softball Earth Series will be in Oklahoma Town beginning June 2nd.
