Riverside, Calif. - James Williams III hit a two-run triple in the top of the ninth and UC Davis picked up the first win of the Tommy Nicholson era at UC Davis, defeating UC Riverside 12-8 on Sunday in Riverside. 

Williams III tied the game at seven on a home run in the seventh inning before playing hero again in the ninth. 

Nick Leehey led off the final frame with a walk and Jonah Henrickson singled to put the Aggies (1-15, 1-8) in business with two on and none out, setting up Williams' 0-1 triple to deep center. 

Bryan Green pitched the final seven innings, essentially throwing a quality start with just two earned runs on six hits with four strikeouts for the first win of his career. Kyler Arenado went 2-5 with three RBIs, Henrickson went 2-4 with three runs scored and Leehey scored twice to lead the Aggies. 

Williams III continued his hot streak with the bat, going 3-5 with four RBIs for his third straight mult-hit day. His streak has his average up to .348 on the season after going 10-14 this week over UC Davis' four games. 

For the third time this season the Aggies were the first to strike with Henrickson's RBI groundout scoring J.D. Mico. 

Though UC Riverside scored six runs in the second inning, the Aggies battled by scoring once in the fourth, fifth and the seventh to set up a five-run ninth inning. 

With 12 runs in back-to-back games, the Aggies are averaging 10 runs per game over their last four. 

UC Davis returns to Dobbins Stadium April 8-10 to host CSU Bakersfield for a three-game set.
