DAVIDSON, N.C. – Second baseman Sam Foy's two-run home run in the seventh helped lift the Davidson baseball team past the Richmond Spiders, 4-3, Thursday night at Wilson Field.
With the win, the Wildcats improved to 25-19 overall and 13-9 in the A-10, while the Spiders fell to 26-22 on the season and 14-8 in the league.
The 'Cats were edged 8-7 in hits, while both teams committed an error. Catcher Jake Sidwell led Davidson with two hits and one run scored in three at bats, while first baseman David Daniels followed with two hits in five at bats.
Richmond's center fielder Tanner Stanley led both teams with a 2-for-4 performance, two runs scored and one RBI.
With the Spiders up 3-1, Foy sailed one over the right field fence that scored Sidwell and tied the score at three in the seventh.

Davidson continued with the momentum in its next at bat as center fielder Cam Johnson, who drew a walk, scored the winning run off a Spider error after pinch hitter Tyler Agard singled to left field.
Davidson kept Richmond scoreless for the final five innings thanks to four Wildcats pitchers. RHP Westin Whitmire recorded his second win of the season for the 'Cats, while RHP Matt Saeta closed out the night with his fifth save of the season.
