BRONX, N.Y. – In addition to Durin O'Linger's first five scoreless innings, six multi-hit performances helped lift the No. 6-seeded Davidson baseball team to an 8-4 upset over No. 3 Saint Joseph's in the opening game of the 2016 Atlantic 10 Championship Wednesday at Houlihan Park.
O'Linger silenced the Hawks to just one hit in the first five innings of play as Davidson (26-24) raced out to a five run lead in its first six at bats. But Saint Joseph's (29-22) rallied for two runs in both the sixth and seventh innings that made it a one-run ballgame heading into the ninth.
After Max Bazin led off with a walk, Brian Fortier's two-out single scored the first of three insurance runs Davidson needed in it's final at bat. The Wildcats capped off its impressive offense after a double steal led to a score, before an Alec Acosta double to right-center field scored Lee Miller.
Westin Whitmire retired the final three batters to secure the ballgame, as he recorded his eighth save of the season.
The Wildcats out hit the Hawks, 14-8, while committing the only two errors of the day. Three of Davidson's 14 hits were extra-bases, including a solo home run from Miller in the fourth. Bazin led both teams going 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run scored.
On the mound, O'Linger (7-4) finished the day allowing four runs off six hits with a game-high four strikeouts in 6.1 innings for the win, while Lucas Rollins (5-5) allowed five runs off 11 hits in 5.2 innings for the loss.
Two other Hawks appeared on the mound, while Evan Roberts joined Whitmire in relief for the 'Cats, pitching an inning and allowing just one hit.
The Wildcats will return to Houlihan Park tomorrow, May 26 to face No. 2 VCU at 10 a.m.
