Rams Rally, Top Wildcats in Second Series Game
4/6/2024 5:23:00 PM | Baseball
RICHMOND, Va. — VCU rallied with five runs in the bottom of the eighth inning and handed Davidson a 7-4 Atlantic 10 baseball loss Saturday afternoon at The Diamond.
Coupled with Friday's walk-off win, the Rams secured at least a series victory, while Davidson (14-16, 2-3) will look to salvage a win Sunday.
Davidson led 4-2 in the eighth before the Rams scored five runs on four walks, a hit-by-pitch and Brandon Eike's bases-clearing double.
Lefty starter Cooper Cavanaugh kept VCU (21-10, 4-1) at bay with a quality start. In six innings, he allowed three hits and two earned runs, walked two and struck out six.
For the second straight day, the Wildcats led early. They scored two runs in the first off two hits and two VCU errors. Then Eli Putnam's two-RBI single made it 4-2 in the fourth.
Aidan Rice (2-for-4) was the lone Wildcat with multiple hits, and Noah Jouras provided the only extra-base hit with a second-inning double to left.
Up Next
The series finale is set for 1 p.m. Sunday at The Diamond.
