The sophomore allowed four total base runners on two singles and two walks. The Lanoka Harbor, N.J., native finished the regular season as the Great West Conference's leader in strikeouts overall and strikeouts in conference games.

The senior yielded one run on five hits, walked none and struck out four in a 97-pitch outing. Davis finished the regular season with a 5-6 record, 3.29 earned run average and five complete games.
