DAVIDSON, N.C. – Davidson freshman LHP Henry Sisson threw a no-hitter with nine strikeouts as the Wildcats defeated Wofford, 1-0 in Southern Conference baseball action Friday night at Wilson Field.
Junior shortstop Michael Zeblo scored the lone Davidson (12-19, 4-12 SoCon) run on a solo home run to right field to lead off the bottom of the fifth inning.
It was the first Davidson no-hitter since Wes Self threw one against High Point on Feb. 15, 2001 and just the sixth in Wildcats history.
RHP Brandon Yarusi (3-4) pitched well for Wofford (13-20, 3-10 SoCon) as well, pitching all eight innings and allowing just the one run, six hits and two walks, while also striking out nine.
Sisson (2-1) allowed four base runners to reach base, three on walks and one on an error when he dropped a toss from senior first baseman Calvin Sigelbaum attempting to cover first base.
Sisson used his defense in the top of the ninth inning to accomplish the feat. Junior third baseman Andrew Barna fielded a grounder and completed the throw for the first out and senior centerfielder Drew Gadaire successfully tracked a high, pop-fly in centerfield for the second. Senior second baseman James Cerbie made a tough play to his left and an accurate throw to beat third baseman Eric Brenk by a step for the final out.
Senior right fielder Jake Berman and freshman designated hitter Ryan Lowe each had two hits, while sophomore left fielder Forrest Brandt had one.
Berman and Brandt and hit back-to-back singles to lead off the fourth inning and the pair were sacrificed ahead a base by Gadaire, but Yarusi struck out the next two batters to end the inning. Berman and Gadaire were in scoring position in the eighth inning, but Yarusi was able to get out of trouble again.
All four Terrier base runners moved into scoring postion, including two to third base, via steals or sacrifice bunts, but Wofford was unable to get the hits to drive them in.
Davidson and Wofford will continue the series Saturday at 2 p.m.
