The No. 12 ranked Virginia Tech Hokies softball team secured a three-game series sweep against the Clemson Tigers in Atlantic Coast Conference play this weekend. The victories improve the Hokies' conference record and solidify their top-15 national standing.
Virginia Tech opened the series with a commanding 8-0 victory in five innings on Friday, April 3rd, behind a strong pitching performance. The team then clinched the series with a narrow 4-3 win on Saturday before completing the sweep with an 8-1 decision on Sunday, April 5th.
Key contributors for the Hokies included pitcher Emma Lemley, who recorded a complete-game shutout in the opener, and outfielder Emma Ritter, who provided consistent offensive production throughout the weekend. The series demonstrated Virginia Tech's balanced strength in both pitching and hitting.
The sweep marks a significant ACC victory for the Hokies as they continue their season. Clemson, meanwhile, looks to rebound from the losses in their upcoming conference matchups.
