No. 21 Clemson secured a critical ACC series win over No. 18 Stanford in its first-ever West Coast conference road trip. The Tiger bats came alive late to earn the 7-6 win over the Cardinal. <\/p>\n

Clemson had yet to find a hit against Stanford starter Alyssa Houston<\/strong> entering the fifth inning. But it only takes one to get hot. Taylor Pipkins<\/a><\/strong> led off with a double, followed by a single from Jamison Brockenbrough <\/strong>and Alex Brown<\/strong> reaching on a fielder\u2019s choice to load the bases. Maddie Moore<\/strong> did Maddie Moore things, hitting a bases-clearing triple. She\u2019d score on a sacrifice fly from Julia Knowler<\/strong> to make it 4-2. <\/p>\n

Stanford answered right back. Taryn Kern<\/a><\/strong> hit her second home run of the game to cut the deficit in half. River Mahler<\/strong> tripled herself and came in to score the game-tying run on a slow chopper off the bat of Jade Berry<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Marian Collins<\/strong> and Kylee Johnson<\/strong> kept the Clemson bats going. A single and double to start the sixth put the Tigers back in business. Collins scored on a Pipkins sacrifice fly. Brockenbrough and Brown drove in two more to push the lead to three. <\/p>\n

Stanford quickly loaded the bases in the bottom half of the sixth, scoring one on another sacrifice fly. However, Brooke McCubbin<\/strong> limited the damage to the one run and escaped the jam. <\/p>\n

McCubbin got into trouble in the seventh, allowing three straight singles after recording the first out. She induced another groundout that put the game-tying and winning run in scoring position. Clemson decided to walk Kern, and it was the right choice. McCubbin got Emily Jones<\/strong> to fly out to center to end the game. <\/p>\n

Clemson heads back east to pay a visit to NC State, while Stanford goes north for a non-conference series at Boise State. <\/p>\n
