HOW IT HAPPENED:
 
Both offense were scorching and made it a long day for pitchers. The two teams combined for 37 hits, and there were only six half innings without runs in the nine-inning matchup.
 
Both sides scored in the first, but High Point took the lead in the second in the second on a two-run homer by Three Hillier. That was one of six homers on the day, and Simpson cranked his own home run in the inning for a 6-1 lead.
 
However, Longwood answered runs with runs. Newman roped a double to left, and Casey Gibbs added a two-run double down the line that trimmed the lead two 6-4.
 
HPU used good two out hitting to plate a run in both the third and fourth, but Longwood pulled back into the game in the fifth with an RBI walk from Jae'dan Carter and a sac fly from Mac Tufts to make it 8-6.
 
HPU swatted two homers in the sixth, but again Longwood kept hanging around. Mikey Urbaniak smashed a two-run home run, his second homer of the season, to right, and Gibbs added another RBI double down the line that trimmed it to 14-9.
 
HPU again used solo homers from Simpson and Smith to extend the lead in the seventh, but Myles Webb doubled home Tre Keels with two outs to cut it to 16-10.
 
That was as close as Longwood would get though the rest of the way.
 
Adrian Montenegro (2-0) earned the win for High Point. He finished out the fifth inning and gave up four runs on six hits in 2.2 innings of work while walking one and striking out one.
 
Wyatt Bunch (1-2) took the loss for Longwood. He gave up six runs on eight hits in his two inning start while walking one and striking out one.
 
UP NEXT:
 
Longwood opens up a four-game road swing with a matchup at William & Mary on Tuesday at 6 p.m.
