Baseball Bounces Back For 11-2 Victory At High Point Saturday

Senior pitchers Riley Arnone and Daniel Willcutt with strong performances on the mound for the Eagles.

HIGH POINT, N.C. – Winthrop baseball (13-16, 7-2 Big South Conference) rebounded from its offensive struggles of the first two games of the series and put up 11 hits in an 11-2 game three victory at High Point (14-13, 6-3 Big South) Saturday afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED
-For the third-straight game in the series, High Point was on the board first, courtesy of an RBI double in the bottom of the 1st to go up 1-0.

-Winthrop answered in the top of the second as Alex Raines singled to bring home Grant English.

-The offensive momentum continued in the 3rd with a two-RBI single by freshman Dillon Morton to give the Eagles a 4-1 lead.

-Winthrop would break the game open in the 4th with six runs on four hits and two Panther errors. Jake Sullivan knocked an RBI double down the left field line, followed in short order by Mitch Spires' first home run of the season, a three-run bomb to left center good for an 8-2 lead.

-Still in the 4th, Dillon Morton reached on an error that would score English and an RBI single for Alex Raines would give the Eagles breathing room at 10-2.

-Jake Sullivan would tack on one more in the 7th with his second RBI double of the day to score Scout McFalls for an 11-2 lead.
