GREENVILLE, S.C. – Hugh Eden, Brett Shore and Danny Weiss each collected two hits for Davidson, but Furman scored all 13 of its runs in the fifth inning to post a 13-9 SoCon baseball victory over the Wildcats Saturday night at Latham Stadium.
Eden was 2-for-4 with a triple and an RBI for Davidson (10-31, 2-18 SoCon), while Shore went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI. Weiss was 2-for-4 with a home run and a team-leading three RBIs.
Wildcat shortstop Matt Webb led off the second inning with a solo homer to put the 'Cats ahead 1-0. Davidson added another run in the top of the fifth when Chris FitzPatrick scored on an Eden single up the middle.
Furman (28-15, 14-6 SoCon) erupted for 13 runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to open a 13-2 lead. The Paladins had 10 hits in the inning, with three extra-base knocks, and had nine straight players reach base after Davidson got the first out of the frame. The Paladins sent 18 batters to the plate in all.
Weiss got a solo homer in the sixth, and Eden tripled and scored on a wild pitch in the seventh to make the score 13-4.
The 'Cats wouldn't go quietly and put together a five-run ninth. Jay Honeycutt reached on a walk to start the frame, and Shane Hammond followed with a single. After Matt Ray reached on an error to load the bases, Will General provided a pinch-hit, two-run double to make the score 13-6.
Shore drove in another run with a groundout, the first out of the inning, and Weiss plated two with a single to center field, making the margin 13-9. The 'Cats had runners on the corners with two outs, but Ian Parry got Honeycutt to strike out to end the game.
The Wildcats and Paladins will finish the series Sunday at 1 p.m. at Latham Stadium.
