• Longwood eyes a second-consecutive Big South series victory as the Lancers play host to High Point.
• The Lancers are also looking to avenge a sweep at the hands of the Panthers last season. High Point came to Farmville and took three hotly-contested games in 2014.
• After four-consecutive where the bats struggled, Longwood is searching for a spark at the plate. The Lancers managed just five hits in a midweek loss at VCU.
Connar Bastaich leads the Lancers in conference action, hitting .348 in the opening six games.
• Longwood would love to see a repeat of last weekend on the mound as Aaron Myers, Brandon Vick and Travis Burnette all provided quality starts against CSU.
• Even after the sweep last season, Longwood still leads the all-time series 11-8 over High Point.

BY THE NUMBERS
• Longwood enters the weekend at 2-4 in Big South play after taking 2-of-3 from Charleston Southern last weekend.
• The Lancers were the benefactors of three solid outings on the bump last weekend. Longwood's starters combined to toss
22-1/3 innings while allowing just five runs, two earned, on 17 hits.
Brandon Delk continues to lead the blue and white at the plate as the senior is hitting .330 on the year with a team-high nine multi-hit games.
• Junior first baseman Connar Bastaich rides a 12-game hitting streak into the series, the longest such streak by any Lancer
this season. Bastaich is currently swinging the stick at a .309 clip.
• Senior Aaron Myers will take sole possession of second place on the all-time strikeout list at Longwood with his first punchout Friday night. The senior ace is just 17 K's shy of the top spot on the list.
• Longwood dropped its only midweek game at VCU on Wednesday night. The Lancers struggled at the plate for a fourth-consecutive game in the 8-1 loss.
• Junior Travis Burnette is looking to build off his career-best performance last Sunday after dealing eight scoreless innings with a personal-best six strikeouts.
