It took Clemson more than six innings to finally get to Wake Forest pitching. But it eventually did.
Through the first six innings in Game 1 Friday night, the Tigers had just four hits on Demon Deacons starter Ryan Cusick. However, they produced two runs on three hits in the decisive seventh inning, while rallying for a 5-2 victory at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson.
The best thing for Clemson (16-18, 10-12 ACC) is the win snapped a seven-game losing streak, and more importantly a five-game losing streak in the ACC.
The Tigers plated the go-ahead runs in the bottom of the seventh inning when Keir Meredith singled to right field with one out, scoring Bryce Teodosio and Sam Hall.
