DAVIDSON, N.C. – Rain Friday forced Davidson baseball to play back-to-back doubleheaders Saturday and Sunday, but the Wildcats answered the challenge. Davidson completed a four-game weekend sweep of Massachusetts and North Carolina A&T with a 7-4 victory over A&T in the series finale Sunday afternoon at Wilson Field.

Right fielder Nathan Becker continued a strong weekend at the plate for Davidson (7-6), going 2-for-4 with two RBIs, including his third home run in as many games. When the Wildcats faced their largest deficit of the game to North Carolina A&T (6-7), 3-1 after the top of the third inning, Becker drove in third baseman David Daniels (2-for-4), who had doubled earlier in the inning, with a base hit, and also advanced designated hitter Ryan Lowe (1-for-3, BB, RBI) to third, allowing him to score on a wild pitch during the next at-bat and tie the game at 3-3 after three innings.

First baseman Cameron Jergens (1-for-4), homered for the Aggies in the top of the sixth inning, but it was the last lead they would hold, as Becker answered by slugging a home run on to the golf course beyond right field to tie the game at 4-4. Second baseman Andrew Pope (2-for-5, 2 R), then led the seventh inning off with a double to right field, and he scored on an RBI-single by Lowe. Lowe later scored on a throwing error for a 6-4 advantage.

First baseman Ben Arkin added a home run in the eighth inning (2-for-4) for the final margin.

Senior LHP Justin Charles (1-0) earned his first career win, yielding just two walks in 0.2 innings pitched, while freshman RHP Westin Whitmire earned his first career save, walking three, but not yielding a hit, over the final 1.2 innings. LHP Rob Bain started for Davidson and went 5.0 innings, allowing three runs on six hits with six strikeouts.

RHP Mitchell McQueen (1-3) suffered the loss after allowing five runs on nine hits and two walks with five strikeouts.

The Aggies also got a home run from Luke Tendler (2-for-5), who hit a two-run shot to give the Aggies an early 2-0 lead in the first inning. Davidson halved the advantage in the bottom half when Pope swiped home on a double steal, but the Aggies restored the two-run advantage when Tendler, who had led the third inning off with a double, scored on a double by Brandon Wilkerson (2-for-4).

Davidson will not play a midweek game, but will open Southern Conference play with a three-game series against The Citadel Friday at 6 p.m. at Wilson Field.
