HOW IT HAPPENED
  • An RBI single gave Longwood a 1-0 lead in their first at-bat of the day.
  • With Charlie Evans batting, he popped it up to Longwood's centerfielder that would have ended the Winthrop half of the second but he dropped it, scoring Harrison Wilson and Will Martin.
  • Longwood knotted it at two in the bottom of the second on an error.
  • Winthrop scored five runs in the top of the fifth to take a 7-2 lead, with the highlight being Jonathan Strauss's two-run homer to left center field.
  • A two-run double in both the fifth and the sixth brought the Lancers to within one.
  • But Longwood wouldn't seriously threaten after that as the Eagles relief unit came on strong to secure the victory.
 
ON DECK
Winthrop will be seeded third in the conference tournament in High Point, N.C. and will take on the loser of Campbell and USC Upstate on Thursday evening at 5 p.m.
