DAVIDSON, N.C. - Senior Aaron Tovsky went 2-for-4 with five RBI to lead the Davidson baseball team to a 15-4 victory over Furman Friday night at Wilson Field.
The designated hitter doubled twice batting in two on both occasions, including a two-RBI double down the right line that allowed Davidson (8-9) to take a 6-4 lead in the sixth. The Wildcats went on to score nine unanswered runs in the seventh to secure the victory.
Davidson outhit Furman, 15-7, while each team committed two errors. Lee Miller led both teams with three hits, including a lead off homerun in the fifth, while four other Wildcats recorded two-hit performances.
Clark Beeker started the first eight innings, allowing four runs - one earned - off six hits with six strikeouts. The senior silenced Furman (8-9) in his final three innings, retiring nine-straight batters and only allowing two Paladin hits to remain undefeated with a 4-0 record.
Peyton Hopkins closed out the victory and allowed just one hit in the ninth.
Will Gaddis was the first of six Paladins to appear on the mound, allowing six runs - four earned - off six hits with four strikeouts for the loss. Furman walked seven Wildcats, including four in the seventh in addition to two hit batters.
The two teams will return to Wilson Field tomorrow, March 19 for a 2 p.m. first pitch, if weather permits. For updates on the game time, follow the team on Twitter at @dcbaseball_.
