DAVIDSON, N.C. – Sophomore Jay Honeycutt was 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs for the Davidson baseball team, but Virginia Tech used a six-run eighth inning to post a 14-10 victory over the Wildcats at Wilson Field Wednesday afternoon.
Chase FitzPatrick was 3-for-6 with a double and two RBIs for Davidson (2-3), and Hugh Eden collected four hits and scored two runs. Brett Shore had three hits on the afternoon, while Danny Weiss had two, including a double.
Anthony Sosnoskie was 3-for-4 with two RBIs for the Hokies (2-3), while Austin Wates and Sean O'Brien had two hits each.
Trailing 9-8, Virginia Tech struck for six runs in the top of the eighth inning. O'Brien had an RBI single, while Ty Hohman and Matt Blow each drove in two runs with a single.
Davidson got one back in bottom of the frame as Tommy Piacenza walked, went to third on a Weiss double and scored later on a wild pitch to make the margin 14-10. After a scoreless top of the ninth, Eden led off the home half of the frame with a single, and Kayne walked with one out. But David Cross got the last two batters in order to end the game.
After Virginia Tech scored two runs in the first, Davidson came back with three in the bottom of the inning with the help of a Honeycutt RBI single and a sacrifice fly from Piacenza.
The 'Cats struck for five runs in the second on the strength of a two-run double from FitzPatrick and a two-run homer by Honeycutt and opened an 8-2 cushion. Each team scored a run in the third, but the Hokies put five up in the fourth to trim the lead to 9-8.
Davidson is back in action this weekend as the Wildcats host Niagara in a three-game series. Doubleheader action Saturday begins at 1 p.m. at Wilson Field.
