DAVIDSON, N.C. - The Davidson baseball team scored five runs in the bottom of the fifth to pull away and defeat the Georgetown Hoyas, 9-3, on Friday night at Wilson Field.
Jake Sidwell and Andrew Pope led the Wildcats with two hits apiece. Pope went 2-for-3 with three runs scored, while Sidwell recorded two RBI and crossed the plate twice.
Joseph Bialkowski led both teams with three hits and one run for Georgetown (1-3).
Clark Beeker picked up his first win of the season, pitching the first seven innings and allowing three runs, two earned, off seven hits with seven strikeouts. Andrew Ashur and Casey Sutherland both pitched scoreless innings in relief and picked up one strikeout apiece.
Five Hoyas saw the mound for Georgetown, including Matt Smith who threw the first 4.2 innings, allowing seven runs, five earned, off seven hits with four strikeouts for his second loss of the season.
After Georgetown scored in the second inning following a Davidson error, the Wildcats answered in the next at bat with a pair of unearned runs on two Hoya errors to take a 2-1 lead.
The Wildcats pulled away in the bottom of the fifth when Pope led off with a single to right field. After Cam Johnson drew a walk, Sam Foy recorded his first hit of the season with a bunt down the third base line to load the bases before Lee Miller reached on a RBI fielders choice that took a 3-1 lead. Three consecutive two-out singles scored four more runs as Davidson extended its lead to 7-1.
The Hoyas tried to rally in the sixth with two runs off three hits, but Davidson recorded insurance runs in the sixth and eighth innings to secure the win.
Both squads will return to Wilson Field tomorrow, Feb. 27, to resume the weekend series at 2 p.m. The game will not be streamed due to a scheduling conflict.
