DAVIDSON — Jacob Friend's two-RBI single pushed Davidson ahead in a three-run sixth inning, and the Wildcats completed their series sweep of St. Bonaventure with an 8-5 victory Saturday afternoon at Wilson Field.

It's the Wildcats' third Atlantic 10 series victory (also Saint Joseph's and Richmond) and first league sweep this season. It's also the second series sweep of the season (Siena) for Davidson, which improved to 22-27 overall and 8-13 in the A-10. The Bonnies dropped to 15-30 and 5-16 in the league.

Noah Jouras, Eli Putnam and Joe Haney homered for the Wildcats, with Jouras' solo shot down the left-field line getting the Wildcats on the board in the third. Putnam's solo blast to left-center in the fifth was his league-leading 16th of the year and also moved his 2024 campaign into fifth on the program's single-season home run list. Haney's solo shot in the eighth was his third homer in as many days.

Davidson entered the sixth trailing 3-2 and tied the game when Tyler Douglas was hit-by-pitch with the bases loaded. Friend then singled into right, scoring Haney and Nick Calero.

Cider Canon's RBI-single in the sixth made it 6-3, and after Haney's homer made it 7-4, Putnam singled in Friend for the Wildcats' eighth run.

On the mound, Cooper Cavanaugh and Jason Ban combined to strike out five in the first four innings before Matt Weber (4-1) took it the rest of the way. He threw five innings, allowed four hits and one earned run and struck out three.
