Justin Lebek homered for the third straight game, Brett Centracchio added a homer and three more hits and the Davidson baseball team beat preseason Atlantic 10 favorite Saint Louis 10-6 Saturday at Wilson Field.
Â
It's the second win in as many days for the Wildcats against the Billikens, who swept the A-10 regular season and tournament titles a year ago, and entering Sunday's series finale, the Wildcats have already locked up their fourth A-10 series win of the season, though they'd prefer to notch their second A-10 sweep (also La Salle) as well.
Â
The Wildcats (21-17, 10-4 A-10) entered Saturday on top of the A-10 standings, and the win took their league winning percentage to .714. VCU is second at 12-5 (.706).
Â
"We've known for a while this is where we should be," said Lebek.
Â
Lebek bookended the Wildcats' offense Saturday. He drove in the first run with an RBI-triple in the first. His solo home run in the eighth — No. 9 on the year — made it 9-5 before the Wildcats added an insurance run on a double play.
Â
Centracchio continued his recent surge, delivering a two-RBI double in the third, a solo home run to right in the fifth and an RBI-single to jumpstart a three-run sixth. He finished with a career-best four hits (4-for-5) and is 7-for-11 (.636) in the series.
Â
"The more people you have in the middle of the lineup hitting the ball, the better the offense is going to be," said Lebek.
Â
Allen Barry tossed six innings in the win, scattering seven hits and allowing three earned runs, while striking out eight and walking two.
Â
Dan Spear pitched the final three innings to earn his third save.
Saint Louis (17-23) fell to 6-8 in the A-10.

Sunday's series finale will begin at 12 p.m. It is Senior Day, and 10 Wildcats will be honored pre-game, at approximately 11:30 a.m.
