Atlantic 10 contender Davidson snuck past Siena Baseball in both ends of a series-opening twin bill in North Carolina. The Wildcats won 5-2 and 5-4, respectively, in the seven-inning affairs.
 
Game 1: Davidson 5, Siena 2 (7)
Davidson (10-12) scratched across all five of their runs in innings 3-5 to take the opener.
 
A pair of RBI singles opened the scoring in the third for the Wildcats, who added two sacrifice flies in the fourth to secure the victory.   
 
Siena (1-18) rallied with a pair of runs in the sixth on RBI singles from Tyler Figueroa and Willie Schwarick, but could get no closer. Six different Saints registered one hit apiece in the seven-inning affair.
 
Wilson Perkins went five scoreless allowing just three hits, no walks, and struck out eight to earn the win for Davidson.
 
Game 2: Davidson 5, Siena 4 (7)
Hunter Anderson laid down the game-winning safety squeeze in the home half of the sixth as the Wildcats prevailed in a back-and-forth nightcap to complete the doubleheader sweep.
 
Siena rallied from a 4-1 deficit through four with a pair of clutch runs on a heads up play in the fifth. With the bases loaded and one out, Nick Bergamotto avoided the tag on the back-end of what would have been an inning-ending double play. With one run already home, Randall Hien kept on running and snuck in the back door for a second score on the play to pull the Saints within a run.
 
Siena then tied it up at 4-4 in the sixth on a mammoth shot off the light tower in left center by Kobe Stenson.
 
Davidson stranded 13 runners in just six innings at bat, but had enough to hand the Saints their sixth loss by two runs or less spanning their past 10 games.
 
Siena will look to salvage the series in the scheduled nine-inning finale Sunday at 1 p.m.
