DAVIDSON, N.C. – The Spring Hill College (SHC) Badgers baseball team lost an 8-5 decision to NCAA Division I Davidson College on Sunday afternoon at Wilson Field as the Wildcats rallied to score six runs with no outs in the bottom of the 9^th inning capped by a walk-off Grand Slam.
 
The Wildcats (9-8) took a 1-0 lead in the 1^st inning off a run-scoring hit-by-pitch, but the Badgers rallied to take a 2-1 lead in the 5^th frame as designated hitter Mason Bonnaffons drove a 2-run single into right with two outs.
 
SHC added two more runs in the 6^th off an RBI-single by right fielder Grayson Williams that was followed by a single to center by 2^nd baseman Frankie Timphony that brought in 3^rd baseman Norris McClure from second.
 
A passed ball with two outs led to a Wildcat run in the bottom of the 6^th inning, but reliever Michael Novak coaxed a pop-up to the infield to end the threat. Bonnaffons would strike again in the 9^th inning with a two-out double to bring in pinch runner Gage Ragona from 3^rd base as the Badger cushion expanded to 5-2.
 
SHC starter Geo Camfield went 5.0 innings allowing just two hits with five walks and three strikeouts. Closer Dalton Baxley (0-2) took the loss allowing four hits and two hit batters with Wildcat center fielder Parker Nolan providing the game-ending home run.
