BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Despite three Wildcats with multi-hit performances, including Aaron Tovsky's 2-for-2, the Davidson baseball team fell to Rhode Island, 13-4, Sunday afternoon at Jim Perry Stadium on the campus of Campbell University in non-conference action.
Tovksy led Davidson (7-8) with a 2-for-2 performance and scored two of the three Wildcat runs, while Tyler Agard and Ward Coleman both went 2-for-4, but Jordan Powell went 3-for-4, including one RBI and three runs scored, to help Rhode Island (4-8) to victory.
The Rams raced out to a 10-0 lead in the fourth, scoring eight runs off six hits, including two two-RBI homeruns that secured the ballgame.
The Wildcats scored in the fourth, before tallying three runs in the sixth off four hits and a Rhode Island error but it was not enough to overcome the Rams' lead.
Casey Sutherland recorded the loss, allowing 10 runs off nine hits with three strikeouts in 3.2 innings pitched. Four other Wildcats pitched in relief, including Josh Smutzer who threw a silent 2.1 innings with three strikeouts.
Ben Wessel started the first five innings for the win, allowing one run off four hits with two strikeouts.
Davidson will return to action Wednesday, March 16 when it travels to No. 17 South Carolina for a 7 p.m. first pitch.
