The Davidson baseball team will play its final non-conference game of the season Tuesday when it visits Wake Forest.

First pitch is set for 6 p.m. at David F. Couch Ballpark in Winston-Salem.

The Wildcats (23-19) most recently split an Atlantic 10 Conference doubleheader at UMass, with both teams registering 2-1 wins. Sunday's series finale was canceled because of rain.

Wake Forest (27-20) has been idle since a 7-5 loss at High Point May 1.

Levy gets weekly honor
Freshman pitcher Gabe Levy was named A-10 Rookie of the Week on Monday.

The right-hander earned two saves last week, taking his season total to eight. In 18 appearances and 42 innings, he has a team-best 2.79 ERA, while holding opponents to a .219 average and striking out 42.

Mr. Consistent
Senior catcher/third baseman Eric Jones continues to set the standard at the plate. He is hitting a team-best .358 and also leads the Wildcats in on-base (.443) and slugging (.570) percentages. He has team-highs of 15 doubles and 21 multi-hit games.

Jones has had three hits in seven games, including in Saturday's 2-1 win over UMass, when he drove in both Wildcat runs on his sixth home run of the season.

Frey's streak at 37
Second baseman Matt Frey has reached base in 37 straight games.

Last week, the junior from Murrysville, Pa., went 4-for-5 with two home runs against N.C. A&T. Then he earned walks in each game at UMass. He was also hit for the 15th time, which is one shy of the program's single-season record.

The reached-base streak only includes base hits, walks and hit-by-pitches. It does not include the times batters reach by error or fielder's choice.

Fontes adds to lead
Designated hitter Ruben Fontes hit two home runs last week to push his season total to 12. That's the top mark in the A-10.

Fontes' most recent home runs erased one-run deficits against N.C. A&T and UMass.

Davidson leads the A-10 with 52 homers and 1.24 per game.

Sutherland still near the top
Senior pitcher Casey Sutherland saw his streak of 24 innings without a walk come to an end over the weekend, but he still ranks among the nation's best.

The right-hander from Apopka, Fla., is currently fourth in the country — and first in the A-10 — in walks per nine innings (0.70) and strikeout-to-walk ratio (10.40).

In 64.2 innings, Sutherland is 6-1 with a 3.06 ERA, 52 strikeouts and five walks.

Up Next
The Wildcats' next tests will be in the classroom. Exams are beginning, and the Wildcats will return to action Thursday, May 16 with an A-10 doubleheader at St. Bonaventure.
