After Davidson Erases Lead, NC State Gets Winning Run in Eighth for 3-2 Win

Box Score
RALEIGH, N.C. — Freshmen Forrest Brandt and Kelly Myers each drove in a late-game run to erase NC State's 2-0 lead, but the Wolfpack plated the winning run in the eighth to escape with the 3-2 win Tuesday afternoon at Doak Field.
Davidson (5-5) never solved NC State (4-3) starter Ethan Ogburn, who struck out a career-high 11 and carried a no-hitter through six innings, but did its damage late in the game against the Wolfpack bullpen. After falling behind 2-0 in the fifth, the Wildcats tied the game with a single score in both the sixth and seventh, but the Wolfpack scratched across the winning run on two straight hits in the eighth.
In a scheduled short start, senior RHP Andy Bass retired the minimum in the first and struck out catcher Danny Canela to start the second. He got into a jam with two straight walks but got into the dugout with a pair of punch-outs to keep the game scoreless.
Davidson got its first base runner in third when freshman catcher Daniel Gerow drew a two-out walk. Ogburn used his sixth strikeout of the game to get out of the inning, and the Wolfpack got the first run across in the bottom half. Sophomore RHP Coleman Barron got two quick outs in relief of Bass but walked designated hitter Pratt Maynard. Third baseman Andrew Ciencin followed with a base hit that was fielded cleanly by Barna at third but overthrown at first to allow Maynard to score. Center fielder Seth Freeman chased down a fly out by Canela to end the inning and keep it a one-run game.
With Ogburn facing only one over the minimum through four, the Wolfpack had something going in the bottom of the frame. First baseman Harold Riggins singled through the left side and Barron's throwing error to second on the fielder's choice put two on with no outs. Barron came back to retire three straight.
Ogburn struck out the side in the fifth, and the Wolfpack added another run in the bottom half to take a 2-0 lead. Center fielder Brett Williams got a leadoff single down the left field line and scored on a one-out double from Ciencin. Barron stranded another with a pop up to Zeblo and a strikeout.
Myers gave the 'Cats a second base runner with a leadoff walk in the sixth and stole second before junior center fielder Seth Freeman was hit by a pitch to put a pair on with one out. Brandt doubled to right to score Myers and bust up Ogburn's no-hitter, but Freeman was gunned down at the plate trying to tie the score.
Ogburn got senior designated hitter Danny Weiss to ground out to leave the tying run at second, and freshman RHP Jip Richards took the mound for the 'Cats in the seventh. Left fielder Tarran Senay took the free pass to start the inning, but Zeblo turned a double play and Richards got the final out with a strikeout.
Davidson tied the game in the top of the inning as sophomore third baseman Andrew Barna legged out an infield single off Wolfpack reliever Rob Chamra and was sacrificed over by junior second baseman Calvin Sigelbaum. Barna took third on a one-out wild pitch and, after Zeblo took a free pass, scored as Myers dropped a base hit into center field. Freshman catcher Daniel Gerow grounded out to end the inning, and senior RHP Mike Frongello (L, 1-1) came on to work the bottom half. After second baseman Matt Bergquist smacked a leadoff single to center field, Frongello sat Williams on strikes and Sigelbaum and Zeblo turned Davidson's second double play of the game to keep the game tied.
Brandt and Weiss put together two straight one-out base hits to put runners on the corners in the top of the eighth but failed to execute the squeeze play before Wolfpack reliever Chris Overman (W, 1-0) got Sigelbaum to fly out for the final inning. NC State took the lead in the bottom of the inning as Ciencin doubled to lead off the frame and scored on Canela's base hit to center in the next at-bat. Frongello gets out of the inning, but Overman gets three straight groundouts to pull out the win for the Wolfpack.
Davidson returns to action tomorrow, traveling to No. 18 North Carolina for a 3 p.m. contest at Boshamer Stadium.
