No. 10 Tigers move to 3-0 by topping Kangaroos


by -

No. 10-ranked Clemson softball topped the Kansas City Kangaroos 8-1 on Saturday at a tournament hosted by FIU in Miami.

The win pushed the Tigers to 3-0 on the young season.

The Kangaroos jumped out to the first lead, 1-0 after one, but Clemson tied things back up with a JoJo Hyatt RBI single.

A five-run fourth inning flipped things more in Clemson's favor with Maddie Moore's 3-run homer to left-center keying the effort.

Sophomore right-hander Brooke McCubbin (1-0) earned her first win of the season by allowing one run on two hits with two strikeouts over five innings.

The Tigers play next on Saturday at 5:30 p.m. versus Georgia State.
