QUICK HITS

  • The Tigers totaled 38 hits on the year with sophomore Marian Collins leading the way with nine
  • Senior Jamison Brockenbrough leads the way with six RBIs, followed closely by sophomore Corri Hicks and Collins with five each
  • Clemson takes a 128 game hit streak into the Texas State game that began during the UNCG matchup at regionals on May 19, 2023. The 128 mark is a program record and surpassed the previous mark set from the inaugural game to April 15, 2022
  • The Tigers also take a 32 game streak where they have scored a run into the Texas State game. This is the third-longest streak by the program and trails the 54-game streak that was set from 2024-25

PUMP UP THE JAM

  • Jamison Brockenbrough looks to cap her collegiate career on a high note, serving as the lone true senior on the Clemson roster in 2026
  • A transfer prior to the 2025 season, Brockenbrough made a flawless transition into the Tigers’ lineup in centerfield and brought speed to the bottom of the lineup
  • Transitioning to the leadoff spot in 2026, Brockenbrough has drawn eight walks, including three in the opening weekend finale against Michigan State
  • She holds a .583 on-base percentage after adding five hits and one hit by pitch
  • Not only does the senior bring speed to the lineup, she opened the 2026 slate with a two-run homer against SE Louisiana
  • She continued her power stretch with a leadoff home run in the bottom of the first inning
  • As a junior, she finished third on the team with 44 runs scored and tied for third with eight stolen bases
  • Proving to be patient at the plate, she was third on the team in 2025 with 25 walks and four hit by pitches while maintaining a .419 on-base percentage
  • One of the most prevalent ways she made her impact on the Tigers last season was by stringing together a 23-game reached base streak – the third longest streak in program history
  • In 2026, she is the lone Tiger to reach base in every game
