DAVIDSON, N.C. – Kyle Kamppi allowed just two runs and struck out six in five innings to lead Georgia Southern to a 20-2 SoCon baseball victory over Davidson at Wilson Field Saturday afternoon.
A.J. Wirnsberger was 4-for-6 with a pair of home runs and six RBIs for the Eagles (20-17, 7-7 SoCon), while Ty Wright went 4-for-5 with two runs and three RBIs.
Zach Kayne led the Davidson (9-24, 1-13 SoCon) offense with a 2-for-4 outing, and Danny Weiss collected two hits.
For the second straight game, Wright led off with a solo home run over the wall in left field, and Chris Shehan drove in a run with a triple. Shehan scored on a sacrifice fly by Jeremiah Parker as Georgia Southern jumped out to a 3-0 lead.
The Eagles added five in the second with a couple of good breaks to open an 8-0 cushion. After Phillip Porter plated Jeremy Beckham with a single to center field, Griffin Benedict drove in a pair of runs by fisting a ball into shallow left field with two outs.
Parker followed with an RBI double on a ground ball that kicked off second base and into left field. Wirnsberger capped the rally with a two-run homer over the right field wall.
Davidson picked up a run in the fourth inning as Chase FitzPatrick, Chris FitzPatrick singled with one out, and Tommy Piacenza followed with an RBI base hit. The Wildcats couldn't continue the rally and wound up leaving two runners on base in the frame.
After Wright delivered a two-run double in the top of the fifth, Hugh Eden led off the home half of the inning with a double, and Kayne scored him with a single to make the score 10-2.
A two-run homer by Wirnsberger, and Kevin Bowle's two-run bloop single with two outs helped provide the Eagles six runs in the sixth and a 16-2 cushion.
The Wildcats and Eagles will finish the series at Wilson Field Sunday. First pitch is set for 1 p.m.
