DAVIDSON — The Davidson baseball team scored 28 runs, withstood some soggy conditions and swept a Friday evening doubleheader against Norfolk State at Wilson Field.
With the 16-0 and 12-3 home wins, the Wildcats improved to 11-3.
Game 1
Michael Carico led off with a double and set the tone with a 4-for-4 day in the 16-0 series-opening win.
Carico added two singles and a two-run home run, his third of the year, as the Wildcats built a 9-0 lead through four innings.
Trevor Candelaria and Parker Nolan hit three-run and solo home runs, respectively, and in all, nine Wildcats drove in runs, beginning with Ryan Wilson's RBI-double that scored Carico in the first and ending with Hunter Anderson's eighth-inning sacrifice fly.
Nolan DeVos, the reigning Atlantic 10 Pitcher of the Week, was lights out again, tossing seven innings and striking out 11, while walking one and allowing only a Steven Shaffer second-inning single.
Isaac Fix struck out four in the final two innings to end it.
Game 2
Wilson's three-run home run broke a 3-3 tie in the second inning, and Davidson cruised from there to a 12-3 win in the nightcap.
Henry Koehler's solo blast to right, his first of the year, made it 8-3 in the seventh.
Candelaria added a two-run single in the seventh, and Jacob Hinderleider (4th inning) and John Hosmer (8th) plated runs with sacrifice flies.
Blake Hely earned the win, throwing five innings and allowing four hits and two earned runs and striking out five.
Will Schomberg and Danny Rosenfield kept the Spartans scoreless over the final four innings.
