DAVIDSON, N.C. - Cornell scored all three of its runs in the top of the sixth inning Wednesday night to earn a 3-2 come-from-behind victory over Davidson in non-conference baseball action at Wilson Field.
RBI doubles from Matt Hall and Ryan Plantier highlighted the three-run sixth for Cornell (8-5), and Plantier eventually scored when Ben Swinford reached on an error with two outs. Davidson (8-11) had held a 2-0 lead since the second inning when David Daniels drove in both runs for Davidson on the night with a single up the middle with the base loaded.
Centerfielder Forrest Brandt was the only player to enjoy a multi-hit game, going 3-for-4 to account for half of Davidson's six hits.
LHP Zach McCulley (1-0) went five innings, allowing two runs on five hits while striking out four. LHP Michael Byrne worked four innings in relief to notch his first save of the year and struck out five on the night, while allowing just one hit and one walk.
Davidson employed six pitchers, as RHPs Michael Goldberg (2.0 IP), Nick Neitzel (2.0 IP), Andrew Pope (1.2 IP), Jip Richards (0.2 IP) and Matt Saeta (1.0 IP) held Cornell scoreless, but RHP Chad Moss (0-1) was tagged with the loss after allowing three runs (two earned) in 1 2/3 innings of work.
The Wildcats will hit the road for their next eight games, starting with three at Southern Conference foe Georgia Southern Friday at 6 p.m.
