WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — The Clemson Insider went one-on-one with Clemson head coach Monte Lee after his 13th-ranked Tigers defeated Wake Forest, 7-5, in Game 1 of their three-game weekend series Friday.

Clemson (27-11, 12-7 ACC) got five runs on nine hits off Wake ace Griffin Roberts, who is considered to be a first-round draft pick this summer.

The Tigers had 11 hits overall, including solo home runs from Logan Davidson and Chris Williams in the top of the eighth inning, which lifted them to the two-run victory.
