Senior Allie Clements blasted two home runs to help Stanford’s 18th-ranked women’s softball team knock off No. 1-ranked Texas 9-5 in the Hillenbrand Invitational in Tucson, Ariz. on Friday afternoon.
The Cardinal (11-1) scored the eventual game-winning runs on River Mahler’s two-run single that snapped a 4-4 tie in the sixth inning. Then Joie Economides put an exclamation point on the inning with a three-run homer to break the game open.
The win means Stanford has now defeated a top-2 team in the country for the third time since last season. The Cardinal had victories over No. 2 Tennessee and No. 2 Texas last February.
Clements, who entered the tournament with three career home runs, doubled her output over three consecutive at-bats. She homered in her final at-bat in a 4-1 loss to Arizona in Thursday’s opener, then belted homers in her first two trips to the plate Friday.
