Tigers to Host Big Ten/ACC Challenge
CLEMSON, S.C. – Coming off its inaugural home opener, the Clemson Softball team (3-4) is set to host Maryland (1-4) and Michigan State (0-4) for the Big Ten/ACC Challenge this weekend (Feb. 14-16). The four-team tournament will also feature Pitt (2-3). Clemson was announced as one of six host sites for this year’s Big Ten/ACC Challenge on July 9, 2019.
Fans wishing to attend this weekend’s Big Ten/ACC Challenge should plan accordingly as Clemson is scheduled to host 17 home events across six different venues Feb. 14-16. Because of recent inclement weather and timing, fans attending events are asked to plan ahead and arrive early.
The Tigers are coming off their inaugural home opener, a doubleheader against Western Carolina on Wednesday (Feb. 12) which Clemson split, 1-1. Freshman right-handed pitcher Logan Caymol led the Tigers to victory in Wednesday’s nightcap after tossing a no-hitter in Clemson’s 8-0 shutout over the Catamounts.
