DAVIDSON, N.C. — After the Western Carolina Catamounts secured the series victory with a 7-1 win in the first game of Sunday's doubleheader at Wilson Field, freshman right fielder Kelly Myers' three-run, walk off home run in the bottom of the 10th lifted the Davidson Wildcats to a 3-0 win in the nightcap.
Myers' (2-for-4, 3 RBI, HR) walk off hit made a winner out of senior RHP Andy Bass (W, 2-0), who scattered two hits and struck out four over the final 3 2/3 shutout innings in game two in relief of junior RHP Ryan Overcash. Overcash struck out seven and allowed just five hits in 6 1/3 shutout innings in the start for Davidson (11-12, 5-6) but took the no decision as neither team scored until the 10th inning. Myers also hit the game-winning home run at The Citadel in the team's 7-6, 10-inning win on March 20.
Overcash and Western Carolina (10-11-1, 2-7) starter Kyle Stewart took turns putting up zeroes on the scoreboard to start the game. After Stewart left the game in the fifth, Andrew Chilcoat continued the trend by tossing three shutout innings of relief.
The Wildcats got nine hits in the game, including a pair each from freshman left fielder Forrest Brandt (2-for-5), junior first baseman Drew Gadaire (2-for-4), sophomore third baseman Andrew Barna (2-for-5) and Myers (2-for-4) but left 13 runners on base.
Western finished with seven hits in the game, led by Dykota Spiess (2-for-3) and was threatening in the seventh as Matt Johns (1-for-4) and Cameron Dullnig (1-for-4) each singled to put runners on the corners with one out. But with Bass taking over on the mound, shortstop Calvin Sigelbaum went a long way and made a spectacular play on a foul ball to end Spiess' at-bat, and Bass struck out Aaron Attaway to end the inning.
Bass allowed a pair of two-out base hits over the next two innings, and Myers made him a winner in the 10th with his third home run of the season, which also scored Sigelbaum (fielder's choice) and junior second baseman James Cerbie (walk).
In the first game, the Catamounts tacked on four runs in the ninth to a 3-1 lead to win the game and the series. Jordan Smith (W, 3-2) allowed just one run and scattered four hits through eight innings while striking out nine to pick up the win.
Davidson got its lone run in the seventh on an RBI-groundout from sophomore shortstop Michael Zeblo that scored Gadaire, who led off the inning with a base hit. That score cut into Western's 3-0 lead, but Smith got a fly out to end the inning and leave a pair of Wildcats on base, and the Catamounts tacked on four runs in the ninth to win the series.
Senior RHP Ian Horkley (L, 2-3) took the loss for the Wildcats, despite allowing just a pair of runs and striking out seven in five innings.
Western Carolina finished with 14 hits, led by Martin, who had a pair of two-RBI doubles. Schultz (2-for-4), Tyler White (2-for-5), Julian Ridings (2-for-5) and Attaway (2-for-4) also had two hits for the Catamounts.
Gadaire (2-for-4) and Weiss (2-for-4) accounted for four of Davidson's six hits, and Myers and Barna each had one.
Davidson wraps up a five-game home stand with a 6 p.m. game against N.C. Central Tuesday.
