'Cats Hold Off UMass 4-3 to Win Series
4/8/2023 4:03:00 PM | Baseball
AMHERST, Mass. — Left-hander Ryan Feczko turned in one of his best outings of the season, and the Davidson baseball team held off a late UMass threat to earn a 4-3 victory Saturday afternoon and, with it, at least a second Atlantic 10 series win.
The win is the third straight for the Wildcats, who improved to 18-11 overall and 4-1 in the A-10.
Feczko (3-3) threw a season-high six innings and scattered three hits. He struck out six, including the side in the second inning, and retired eight straight batters from the second to fourth innings.
Feczko had early run support as second baseman Jack Cotrone drove in the game's first two runs when he delivered the Wildcats' fourth single of the first inning, scoring Ryan Wilson and Jacob Hinderleider.
The Wildcats extended their lead to 3-0 in the third when Wilson scored on an error following a Michael O'Shaughnessy single and to 4-1 in the ninth when Jake Wilhoit plated Cotrone on a sacrifice fly.
Bennett Flynn relieved Feczko to start the seventh inning and struck out five in 2.2 innings. AJ Pabst entered in the ninth, with the bases loaded and two outs, and recorded the final out, a flyout to Wilson in center, to earn his first save.
Up Next
The series finale is set for 12 p.m. Sunday.
