Tigers take game one of doubleheader with Guimbarda walkoff HR |
Clemson softball won game one of the doubleheader versus Furman in walkoff fashion, 3-2, with a two-run shot from
Marissa Guimbarda in the seventh inning.
The Tigers (26-10), which entered ranked as high as No. 17 nationally, got on the board first by way of a bases-loaded walk drawn by Guimbarda to take a 1-0 lead in the first inning. The Paladins (12-18) answered back in the fourth to take a 2-1 lead on a Natalie Morgan 2-run homer to left field. After the shaky first frame, Furman's Sierra Tufts (5-9) settled down and limited Clemson to two hits going into the 7th, but with two out, Valerie Cagle was walked and the ACC's reigning co-player of the week Guimbarda sent the gamewinner over the left field wall. Cagle (11-7) went the distance for Clemson in the circle, allowing four hits and dealing five strikeouts. Clemson has won five games in a row and 7-of-8. Game two of the doubleheader is slated for a start shortly after game one’s end before heading to Pittsburgh on the weekend. GUIMBARDA WITH A HOMER TO WIN IT????
