DAVIDSON — Five first-inning runs set the Davidson Wildcats on the right track Sunday afternoon in a 9-1 win over Lafayette at Wilson Field.
The victory was the second straight for the Wildcats, who improved to 4-6 and secured their first series win of the season.
Jamie Daly led the offense, going 3-for-5 with two doubles and an RBI, while fellow freshman Cooper Collins was 2-for-4 with three RBIs.
Davidson's five-run first inning included four hits and two errors. Eli Putnam's RBI-single up the middle and two-RBI hits by Jack Cotrone and Collins brought Wildcats in.
The Wildcats added a run in the sixth when Scotty Edwards was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and two in the seventh off a Forrest Lietz sacrifice fly and a Collins bunt single. Daly's second double drove in the game's final run in the eighth.
Starter Matt Weber threw four scoreless innings, allowing two hits and striking out three. Brycen Champey allowed two hits and struck out one while pitching the final 3.1 innings and getting the save.

The Wildcats will visit South Carolina on Tuesday.
