Winners of their last six games, the Davidson Wildcats return to the Wilson Field diamond Friday afternoon to start a three-game series with Lafayette.
Â
The Wildcats are 14-3 and off to the best start in the modern era of the program after sweeping a doubleheader against William & Mary.
Â
LAST TIME OUT
The Wildcats hit four home runs and earned 11-4 and 3-1 wins over William & Mary Tuesday at Wilson Field.
Â
Two of the home runs came off the bat of reigning Atlantic 10 Player of the Week Ryan Wilson, while Jacob Hinderleider and Michael Carico also homered. Wilson finished the day with five RBIs and now leads the Wildcats with a .449 average, while sharing the team's home run lead (4) with Carico.
Â
Trevor Candelaria has driven in a team-best 20 runs.
Â
THE NUMBERS
Multiple Wildcats rank in the top 10 nationally in statistical categories.
Â
Carico is tied for the nation's top spot with 11 hit-by-pitches and is fourth in the country with 10 doubles.
Â
Wilson is second nationally in on-base percentage (.608), while he and Hinderleider enter the weekend sixth in walks (18).
Â
On the mound, Friday starter and two-time A-10 Pitcher of the Week Nolan DeVos is fourth nationally with an 0.38 ERA, while Gabe Levy's five saves rank third.
Â
Ryan Feczko, typically the Sunday starter, is second in wins (4), fifth in strikeout-to-walk ratio (25.00) and seventh in walks per nine innings (0.44).
