Alex Fenton pitching a game last season

RICHMOND, Va. — Ryan Wilson’s fifth-inning home run broke a scoreless tie Sunday afternoon at VCU, but Davidson dropped the Atlantic 10 series finale 3-1 to the Rams.

Wilson’s leadoff solo shot to left was his fourth homer of the season and gave the Wildcats the 1-0 lead they held for two innings. But the Rams answered with two runs in the seventh on RBI-singles by Michael Haydak and Tyler Locklear.

VCU then added an insurance run in the eighth when Hogan Brown drew a walk with the bases loaded.

Wilson had two of the Wildcats’ five hits Sunday.

Alex Fenton turned in a quality start on the mound, throwing seven innings, scattering nine hits and striking out six. Both runs the Rams scored against him were unearned.
