Having won nine straight, the Davidson baseball team will hit the road for the first time Wednesday when the Wildcats visit cross-county rival Charlotte.

First pitch is set for 6 p.m. at Charlotte's on-campus Hayes Park. The game was originally scheduled for Truist Field in Uptown Charlotte but was moved from the pro park due to potential inclement weather.

It'll be the first matchup on the diamond between the Wildcats and 49ers since May 4, 2004, when the Wildcats won 3-1 in 10 innings.

"We're happy to have Charlotte back on the schedule and plan to make it a yearly opponent," said Davidson coach Rucker Taylor, whose team is now a program-best 17-3. "They will be a talented club and seem to be playing well."

SCOUTING THE 49ERS
Charlotte is 13-6 entering a Tuesday night contest against Campbell at Atrium Health Ballpark in Kannapolis.

The 49ers opened Conference USA play this past weekend, going 2-1 against Western Kentucky with 3-1 and 13-12 victories Saturday and Sunday, respectively.

Nate Furman (.408) and Austin Knight (.380, 6 HRs, 17 RBIs) are the top offensive threats.

LAST TIME OUT
The Wildcats are coming off a three-game series sweep of Lafayette, having outscored the Leopards 37-12.

Named Atlantic 10 Player of the Week for the second straight week, first baseman Ryan Wilson leads the nation with a .622 on-base percentage and the A-10 with 23 walks. He's hitting a team-best .458 with four home runs, 21 runs and a team-high 10 steals.

Michael Carico is also hitting north of .400 at .426, while leading the Wildcats with 10 doubles, six home runs and an .838 slugging percentage.

Trevor Candelaria is hitting .375 with a team-leading 25 RBIs, and Henry Koehler has been hot of late. Against Lafayette, he hit .750 (9-for-12) with three doubles, a home run and eight RBIs.
