Highlights
DAVIDSON, N.C. – The Davidson baseball team was edged by the Saint Louis Billikens, 10-7, Friday night in the first game of the weekend series at Wilson Field. The loss dropped the Wildcats to 12-8 overall and 2-2 in the A-10, while the Billikens improved to 16-9 on the season and 3-1 in the conference.
Saint Louis out hit Davidson, 12-9, but committed three errors to the Wildcats' one. Shortstop Alec Acosta led the squad with two hits, one run and three RBI, while third baseman Ben Arkin and first baseman David Daniels each scored two runs.
Catcher Colton Frabasilio went 3-for-4 with three runs and five RBI to lead both squads.
The Wildcats started the day hot, picking up three runs in the first at bat. Two singles to left field put Arkin and Daniels on base, before right fielder Lee Miller sent a long ball to right center for a two RBI double. Acosta's single up the middle eventually scored Miller to give Davidson the early 3-0 lead.
Seven-straight runs from the Billikens, one in the second, two in the third and four in the fifth, allowed Saint Louis to take control, 7-3, after the top of the fifth. But the Wildcats matched its performance with four runs off two hits with two Billiken errors to tie the game at seven heading into the sixth.
