Davidson (10-13, 5-5) scored a pair of runs in the top of the second inning, but the Bulldogs (11-17, 7-6) answered with four runs in the bottom of the frame to take the lead for good.
Brady's sixth home run of the season was the first run of the game for the Wildcats in the second inning, and Chase FitzPatrick (1-for-3) followed with a triple down the right field line. Drew Gadaire (1-for-3, 2 RBI) grounded out, but drove in FitzPatrick for Davidson's second run of the game.
