Box Score | Highlights

DAVIDSON, N.C. – LHP Seth Varner carried a no-hitter into the eighth inning, as Miami (Ohio) defeated Davidson, 6-0, in non-conference baseball action Friday evening at Wilson Field.
 
It was announced prior to the game that the series finale between the two teams Sunday has been moved one hour earlier to 1 p.m.
 
Pinch-hitter Ben Arkin had the lone hit for Davidson (2-4), doubling off the left field wall with one out. Varner (1-1) then loaded the bases on his third walk of the night and a hit batter, but ended the threat with a strike out and a fielder's choice. RHP Wynston McMartin then retired the side in the bottom of the ninth inning with two strikeouts.
 
Davidson had also threatened to score in the third inning after a walk and a throwing error gave the Wildcats runners on the corners with no outs, but Varner was able to induce a fly out and an inning-ending double play.
 
Miami (2-5) took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a two-out RBI-single by catcher John Crummy, who went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and a walk in the game. The Redhawks then added three runs in the fifth inning when an error extended what could have been a 1-2-3 inning for the 'Cats. Crummy drove in two with a triple and later scored on another error.
 
In total, Davidson made six errors, resulting in the three unearned runs in the fifth.
 
Miami added two runs in the ninth inning for the final margin. Second baseman Steve Sada (1-for-3) led the frame off with a triple and scored on a sacrifice fly, and designated hitter Gary Russo (2-for-3, 2 BB), who reached base four times and was the only other Redhawk with a multi-hit game, hit an RBI-double later in the frame.
 
RHP Danny Mooney (1-1) pitched five innings, allowing four runs (one earned) on five hits and three walks with five strikeouts. RHP Durin O'Linger pitched 3.1 innings of relief, allowing two runs on a hit and two walks with one strikeout.
 
Designated hitter Ryan Lowe continued his streak of reaching base in each game so far this season with a walk, while catcher Chris Dyer was issued two bases on balls.
 
Lowe is slated to take the mound and face RHP Nathan Williams when the teams continue their three-game series Saturday at 2 p.m.
