A near capacity crowd turned out for Clemson softball’s home opener Saturday, and the Tigers gave their fans plenty to cheer about.
Clemson walked off with a mercy-rule victory over Boston at McWhorter Stadium in its first game of the Clemson Classic. Alia Logoleo’s two-run home run capped a six-run fifth inning for the Tigers to end the game, 8-0.
Led by Cammy Pereira’s three-hit day, Clemson (8-3) pounded out 12 hits against Boston’s Allison Boaz (2-3). Logoleo and Aby Vieira each had two hits for the Tigers, who won their third straight game. Clemson will take on Saint Francis in its second game of the day at 5 p.m.
