Box Score
DAVIDSON, N.C. -- Virginia Tech used five runs in the sixth inning to take control and held on for an 11-5 victory over the Davidson Wildcats in a rain-shortened game Wednesday night at Wilson Field in non-conference play.
Rain bothered the flow of the game all night, bumping the original start time back an hour before finally forcing an early end. A three-run home run by Virginia Tech's Anthony Sosnoskie in the top of the ninth was erased when, after a 30-minute lightning delay, the game was suspended.
Davidson (18-26) scored the first run as James Cerbie, who doubled to lead off the inning, scored easily as Brett Shore legged out a triple in the second.
Virginia Tech (28-20) got the run back in the top of the third on an RBI-double from Sosnoskie, but the 'Cats reclaimed the lead with a run in the bottom half. Drew Gadaire hit a one-out double down the left field line. He moved to third as Danny Weiss singled to second and scored on a throwing error by second baseman Michael Seaborn.
The Hokies took the lead with a three-run home run by Chris Kay, but the Wildcats knotted the score with three runs in the fifth. Zach Kayne hit his ninth home run of the season to lead off the frame, before Gadaire followed with a base hit. He took second as Chase FitzPatrick reached safely on a fielding error at third and scored on Cerbie's second hit of the night, a double down the left field line. Jay Honeycutt's sacrifice bunt scored FitzPatrick to tie the game, but Seth Freeman struck out to strand a runner.
Virginia Tech, though, opened the game up with five runs on five hits in the sixth, including a pair of two-RBI home runs by Sosnoskie and Seaborn, and added two more in the eighth to reach the final, 11-5.
The game was delayed for lightning after the Hokies added three more runs in the top of the ninth, but the inning was erased as the game was officially suspended.
Chris Lamb (1-4) took the loss for the Wildcats, allowing five runs on seven hits in two innings of relief for starter Thomas Middour.
Starter Marc Zecchino earned the win for the Hokies, surrendering five runs (three earned) on eight hits while walking one and striking out five in five innings.
The Wildcats posted 10 hits, lead at the plate by Shore, who batted 3-for-4 and just a home run shy of the cycle. Gadaire and Cerbie each had two hits.
Virginia Tech had 14 hits on the evening, led at the plate by Klint Reed (4-for-5, RBI) and Kaminski (3-for-5, 2 RBI).
Davidson will take a weekend off before hosting Western Carolina in the final regular-season series May 14-16.
