DAVIDSON, N.C. – Davidson held North Carolina A&T scoreless after the first inning and added runs in the fourth and sixth innings to defeat the Aggies, 3-1, in non-conference baseball action Saturday evening at Wilson Field. Davidson is currently playing its second game of the day against Massachusetts.
Â
RHP Charles Cantrell (2-1) went the distances for the Aggies, allowing the three runs on 10 hits and two walks with five strikeouts, but four Davidson (4-6) pitchers combined to limit the Aggies to one run, scattering seven hits and six walks, while striking out nine.
Â
RHP Ryan Lowe (1-0) allowed three hits and five walks with five strikeouts in five innings of work after drawing the start, while RHP Matt Saeta (2) allowed a pair of hits in the ninth, but struck out two, in earning his second save of the season. RHPs Cody White and Michael Goldberg kept N.C. A&T scoreless in between.
Second baseman Sam Foy led the Wildcats with a 2-for-4 day at the plate with one run scored, while left fielder Lee Miller (1-for-2) homered.
Â
North Carolina A&T got on the scoreboard in the first inning on a sacrifice fly by Lester Salcedo (2-for-3), who had the lone multi-hit game for the Aggies, but Davidson went ahead in the fourth inning, scoring a pair of runs on a hit batsman and a walk. After the first two batters were retired in the fourth, the Wildcats loaded the bases on singles by right fielder Nathan Becker (1-for-4) and Foy (2-for-4), and a hit-by-pitch by Miller (1-for-2, RBI). Cantrell then hit first baseman Ben Arkin (1-for-2) and walked catcher Daniel Gerow (1-for-2) to plate two runs for the Wildcats.
Â
Miller gave Davidson an insurance run in the bottom of the sixth inning, sending his first home run of the season over the fence in right field.
Â
The two teams will meet again Sunday 45 minutes after Davidson plays Massachusetts for a second time. That game is slated to start at noon.
