Softball Gods were on a mission tonight. And not in a good way.
The more I recap the game, the more lucky I realize they were. Literally anything 50/50 went their way. In the field, at the plate, on the base paths, you name it. Clemson needed it, the Gods handed it to them. It’s exceedingly unlikely that level of good fortune will recur. We need to tighten some things up for sure, but if we can just get half of the random 50/50 events, I like our chances.

One walk, one bad toss, one tater. 3 runs and that's the ball game.**

Lots of excuses for the losses. Hitting had to be the biggest.**

Clem had way better at bats. Our team at the plate seemed very impatient.**

One elite defensive play by Clemson as well. That scores 2 if she misses. **

That's possible because she threw one wild to first later.**
