Gianna Boccagno hit her team-leading fourth home run of the season for the Eagles in game one while Elisabeth Laviolette went 2-for-2 and was hit by a pitch.

Ellie Mataya crushed her first home run of the year into the wind in right field to extend the lead to 3-1 in the fifth. The Eagles looked to add a run to their lead in the sixth, but the run was thrown out at the plate from center field to end the threat.
Â
Clemson evened the contest at 3-3 in the bottom of the sixth on a dropped fly ball from BC and a squeeze play at the plate.
