Wildcats Sweep Doubleheader With Siena
3/23/2024 9:17:00 PM | Baseball
DAVIDSON — The Davidson baseball team swept a doubleheader with Siena Saturday at Wilson Field and secured at least their second series win of the season as well.
The Wildcats improved to 10-12 with the 5-2 and 5-4 victories, both in seven innings, and won three straight games for the second time this season.
Game 1
Davidson built a five-run lead through five innings, then thwarted some late Siena threats to win the day's first game 5-2.
Jed Howard's RBI-double and Noah Jouras' RBI-single got the Wildcats a 2-0 lead in the third, and they added runs on sacrifice flies by Aidan Rice and Eli Putnam in the fourth. Rice singled in a run in the fifth to make it 5-0.
Meanwhile, right-handed starter Wilson Perkins kept the Saints at bay. He tossed five innings, allowed three hits and struck out five while improving to 3-2. in one stretch, he retired 10 of 11 batters.
Jason Ban earned his second save of the year, throwing the final 1.2 innings and striking out three. He entered a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the sixth and ended the threat with two strikeouts.
Game 2
Hunter Anderson's RBI-sacrifice bunt plated the winning run in the sixth inning of the 5-4 win.
Anderson's well-placed bunt up the first-base line allowed Cider Canon to score from third. Canon led off the sixth with a walk, then advanced to third on a throwing error.
Pitcher Jake Dunagan, who entered with two on and two outs in the sixth inning, then pitched a 1-2-3 seventh to end it and earn his first victory.
Canon drove in the game's first run with an RBI-single in the first, and the Wildcats moved ahead 4-1 with a three-run fourth that included RBI-singles from Putnam and Jouras and a Jake Wilhoit sacrifice fly.
But Siena pulled even with a Kobe Stenson home run in the sixth.
Starter Cooper Cavanaugh threw four innings, allowed three hits and one earned run and struck out four.
Up Next
The series finale is set for 1 p.m. Sunday.
