In his second trip to the mound, also in relief, Davis faced Sul Ross after the Lobos had just tied the game with a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning. Davis stopped Sul Ross in its tracks, striking out two batters to end the inning. After Eastern’s batters drove in three runs to retake the lead, Davis struck out two more SRSU batters to earn the win as the Greyhounds prevailed, 9-6.

Davis started the second game of a double-header against the Colorado School of Mines on Feb. 13.
