Box Score
CLINTON, S.C. - Sophomore third baseman Andrew Barna hit a solo home run in the fourth inning but it was all the scoring the Davidson Wildcats would get in their 6-1 loss to the Presbyterian Blue Hose Tuesday afternoon at the PC Baseball Complex in Clinton, S.C.
Barna batted 2-for-4, the only Davidson (2-3) player with multiple hits. The Wildcats finished with six hits, including one each from sophomore second baseman Jack McLindon, junior first baseman Drew Gadaire, senior designated hitter Will General and sophomore shortstop Michael Zeblo.
Center fielder Gabe Grammer batted 2-for-5 to lead Presbyterian (4-0), driving in a pair on a two-run home run in the eighth. First baseman Kenny Bryant also had a pair of the Blue Hose' nine hits.
Presbyterian's RHP Chandler Knox (1-0) earned his first win of the season, allowing just one run on five hits and striking out seven in 7 2/3 innings.
Freshman right-hander Danny Mooney (1-1) took the loss for Davidson, allowing four runs (two earned) on six hits and striking out four in five innings.
McLindon got the Wildcats off on the right track with a leadoff double into the gap in left, but Knox retired the next three hitters to get out of the inning. The Blue Hose also got their leadoff guy aboard, as Grammer got an infield single and moved around to third on catcher Nate Horton's two out base hit. Mooney's first strikeout of the game left runners on second and third and kept the game scoreless.
The Wildcats had something going in the second as General, who was hit by a pitch, took second on Barna's infield single. Zeblo successfully sacrificed the pair over a base, but Knox got left fielder Forrest Brandt to pop up and struck out freshman catcher Daniel Gerow to end the inning.
The Blue Hose got on the scoreboard in the bottom half, scoring two on two hits and two Davidson errors. Bryant led off with a single through the left side, and left fielder Mack Hite reached safely on a catcher's interference. Third baseman Taylor Hill sacrificed both a base, and second baseman John Wagner cleared the bases with a single down the right field line. Grammer reached on an error, but Mooney used his third strikeout and a fly out to get out of another jam.
Davidson sent the minimum to the plate in the third, and Presbyterian pushed its lead to 4-0 with a pair of runs on two hits and an error in the bottom half. Horton drew a leadoff walk and moved to second when right fielder Tony Micklon singled to third. Senior right fielder Sam Payne had some trouble with Bryant's base hit to right, allowing Horton to score, and Hite's sacrifice fly made it 4-0.
Barna hit a two-out, solo shot in the fourth to put the 'Cats on the board, but Knox retired seven straight Wildcats before Payne drew a two-out walk in the sixth. Senior Andy Bass took over for Mooney to start the bottom of the sixth and allowed just one hit over two shutout innings, but Davidson would scatter just three hits and strand five over the final five innings.
Presbyterian added its final runs on Grammer's two-out homerun in the eighth, also scoring Hite, who reached safely on an error to start the inning.
Davidson will host Ohio, Lafayette and Lehigh for four games this week. The Wildcats open their weekend with a 6 p.m. game against Ohio Friday night. Davidson plays a doubleheader against Lafayette (1:30 p.m.) and Lehigh (5 p.m.) Saturday, and concludes the weekend with a 1 p.m. game against Lafayette Sunday.
