Clemson softball roughed out tough conditions to pull off an improbable victory on Friday in the ACC Softball Tournament.
The No. 2-seeded Tigers entered the bottom of the sixth inning with just six outs to spare and faced a seven-run deficit against No. 3 seed Virginia Tech at Harrington Athletics Village in Brighton, Massachusetts. However, Clemson sent 14 hitters to the plate in an eight-run inning to pull off a 10-9 victory over the Hokies to advance to the championship game.
The Tigers will take on the No. 1 seed in Florida State at 2:30 p.m. ET on Sunday. With Clemson entering the ACC Tournament ranked No. 13 in RPI, a win over the Seminoles could help it earn a top-eight national seed with a chance to host the regional and super regionals.
Here’s a breakdown of the eight-run sixth inning, which propelled the Tigers to a major comeback win:
Clemson softball’s eight-run sixth inning vs Virginia Tech
Following a four-run inning from Virginia Tech in the top of the sixth inning, Clemson faced a 9-2 deficit entering the bottom of the sixth, leaving the Tigers with just six outs from elimination from the tournament.
Jamison Brockenbrough opened the bottom of the frame with a groundout to the second baseman, Rachel Castine. Leadoff hitter Alex Brown singled through the left side, followed by a double by Maddie Moore. Julia Knowler reached on an error as the next batter, plating two runs to cut the deficit to 9-4.
Macey Cintron earned a one-out walk and then Aby Viera grounded unassisted to the first baseman to set up second and third with two outs. From there, with conditions worsening with heavy rain falling from the open sky, Virginia Tech fell apart and Clemson took full advantage.
Marian Collins doubled to left field to plate two more runs, 9-6. The Hokies turned to ace Emma Lemley to get them out of the jam with just one more out. However, Lemley walked Taylor Pipkins and Haylee Whitesides on nine pitches to load the bases.
Brockenbrough and Brown each earned full-count walks to cut the deficit to 9-8. Moore was hit by a pitch with the bases still loaded to even the score at 9, which sent Lemley to an early shower without recording an out. Reliever Sophie Kleiman entered and walked Knowler on a full count and Clemson had its first lead of the game at 10-9.
Cintron struck out swinging on a ball in the dirt on a 3-2 count to end the Tigers’ threat, but Clemson had plated eight runs in the frame on three hits, six walks and a hit by pitch.
Brooke McCubbin worked around a one-out walk to close out the victory for the Tigers, despite the heavy rainfall, to clinch a spot in the championship game for the third time in program history.

New Tiger Woods Golf Course Coming To Virginia Resort Community
Aerial of the Cutalong course and main clubhouse at the Tributer Resort in central Virginia. The property has plans to add a second 18-hole championship course designed by Tiger Woods.
RON BLUNT STUDIO | Tributer Resort
A new Tiger Woods-designed course is coming to the Tributer Resort in Lake Anna, Virginia, a future member offering for the growing residential component in development at the destination property that in 2021 opened one of the top new courses in the state.
The second course won’t begin construction until 2028 but the project from TGR Design is part of the ambitious expansion plans from Reef Capital Partners, the ownership group behind newer golf destinations such as Black Desert Resort (UT) and Sweetens Cove (TN) that continue to gain popularity.
Situated in central Virginia, about 55 miles north of Richmond and 85 miles southwest of Washington D.C., Tributer Resort currently has Cutalong Golf Club, an 18-hole championship layout modeled after C.B. Macdonald’s National Golf Links of America. The current course was recognized by Golf Digest in 2023 as one of the Top 5 best new private courses in the U.S. and the forthcoming TGR course will provide a second distinct championship golf experience.

Tributer Resort
Tributer Resort is evolving into a lifestyle and residential destination under Reef Capital Partners, which acquired the property in 2018, with a year-round environment rooted in golf as well as hospitality and waterfront living near Lake Anna. When complete, the community will include more than 900 residences along with multiple dining spaces, wellness amenities, lakeside recreation, curated outdoor experiences, and trail systems.
“This new course announcement represents a major milestone in the evolution of Tributer Resort and reinforces our commitment to building a premier golf destination at Lake Anna,” said Tributer Resort General Manager Ian Sikes. “Together with our existing offerings, this addition brings a new level of excitement and distinction to the club and community.”
Tributer Resort is adding more golf-centric accommodations as part of its expansion.
Tributer Resort The residential component of the resort currently includes seven golf villas and eight cottages, all of which are member-owned but available to guests interested in stay-and-play packages at the property, in addition to estate lots with golf course views. Buildout plans call for a total of 22 golf villas (four bedrooms) and 34 cottages (two bedrooms), although guests will only have access to the Cutalong course, not the new TGR Design, which will be member-only. Golf memberships, which offer priority access to both courses, are now available. There are also social memberships reserved for residents interested in the Tributer lifestyle beyond golf.
“Our vision is to create a vibrant, enduring community where resort amenities are seamlessly integrated into everyday life,” said Reef CEO Jared Lucero. “This next phase brings together thoughtfully designed residences, elevated amenities, golf, and world-class recreation.”
The existing Cutalong Course at Tributer.
Brian Oar | Tributer While the Cutalong course is inspired by strategic principles of golf’s Golden Age architects (Donald Ross and Alister MacKenzie among them), the forthcoming TGR Design course will showcase the property’s dramatic topography and natural landscape of a property where miners in the 19th and 20th centuries once dug for copper, pyrite and traces of gold. Routed through rolling farmland, mature hardwood forests and pine groves overlooking Lake Anna, the second course will stretch to 7,310 yards from the championship tees and be defined by strategic shot values and a distinct variety of holes with expansive vistas.
“A balanced mix of uphill and downhill holes, shifting perspectives, and natural landforms will ensure no two holes feel alike, creating a course that feels organic in its movement and varied in its demands,” said TGR Design President Bryon Bell, who noted that strategy, creativity and thoughtful decision-making will define the overall experience. True to Tiger’s design principles, it will challenge elite players yet remain playable and engaging for less experienced or less skilled players.
“Lake Anna provides a remarkable setting for championship golf,” added Bell, “and we’re excited to see this design come to life in a way that fully reflects its sense of place.”
The existing Cutalong Course, recently named one of the top new private courses in Virginia, during the fall.
Brian Oar | Tributer Woods and TGR Design have an existing relationship with Reef, having designed the first of two courses at the private club community of Marcella in northern Utah. Cutalong was the first golf property acquired by Reef Capital Partners, evolving –and re-branding — as Tributer, and was the launchpad for an expanding portfolio of golf developments.
Complementing the golf courses at Tributer is an 18-hole, lighted putting course (The Shenandoah Green) that’s designed as part of a social and entertainment venue adjacent to the clubhouse that overlooks the 1st and 18th greens of the existing course. Single-night and multi-night stay-and-play packages are available at the resort, providing a member-type experience within private residences.
