For the first time since April 6, Clemson secured a series win in conference play with a 10-9 victory over Wake Forest Friday night at Doug Kingsmore Stadium.
The Demon Deacons jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning with four consecutive one-out hits off of left-hander, Jacob Hennessy but that’s all it took for Hennessy to turn it around and cruise from there.
After giving up those four hits in the first inning, Hennessy only allowed two more during the rest of his outing. He tied a career high by going 7 1/3 innings while giving up two runs on six hits with one walk and seven strikeouts to earn his fourth win of the season.
