The First Pitch:
•    Longwood baseball plays its first true road game of the season with a midweek trip to Charlotte out of the American Athletic Conference.
•    The two teams haven't played since 2022, and Charlotte has hosted Longwood in each of the three prior matchups.
•    The Lancers put up a season-high seven runs in the series finale against Penn State on Sunday.
•    Longwood was scheduled to play three weekend series at home to start the season, but the first two were moved to neutral sites due to the effects of winter storms in Prince Edward County.
•    Longwood is averaging better than two steals per game and ranks in the top 30 nationally in the category.
 
Previous Series
•    Longwood fell in a three game series to Penn State out of the Big Ten on Saturday and Sunday.
•    Penn State's starting pitching pitchers slowed down the Lancers on Saturday, but Longwood responded with seven runs on Sunday.
•    Tre Keels led the team with three base hits, his first three-hit game of the season, and he added two steals.
•    On the mound, Kyle Miller was solid for four innings, limiting Penn State to two runs on four hits.
•    The Lancers led 3-1 after two innings, and James Nelson poked an RBI single in the fifth that gave Longwood a 5-4 lead.
•    However, Penn State retook the lead with a three-run sixth and never trailed thereafter.
 
Around The Bases:
•    Longwood plays its second midweek matchup of the season with a trip to Charlotte.
•    The matchup with Charlotte marks the fourth different conference that the Lancers will play.
•    The team has already played against Wright State (Horizon League), VCU (A-10) and Penn State (Big Ten).
•    Longwood will follow the midweek matchup with a series against Albany out of the America East, the fifth different conference the Lancers will play.
•    The team won't repeat a conference, so to speak, until it plays against George Mason out of the A-10 in March.
•    Longwood ranks third in the Big South and 28th nationally in stolen bases per game. The Lancers average 2.33 steals per game.
•    On the season, Longwood has 14 stolen bags, which also ranks third in the Big South.
•    Both Jae'dan Carter and Myles Webb are tied for seventh in the Big South in doubles with three each.
•    Tre Keels, meanwhile, is third in the league with five stolen bases, and he is second in steals per game (0.83). He ranks 22nd nationally in steals per game.
•    Nearly half of Longwood's base hits have gone for extra bases.
•    Longwood has 12 doubles and a triple out of 28 base knocks.
•    Longwood has also drawn 26 walks as an offense while only surrendering 25 as a pitching staff.
•    Tre Keels leads the team with five walks, and nine different players have drawn multiple walks.
•    On the mound, Justin Gunter will make his first collegiate start after two relief appearances to start his college career.
