Eagles Explode for Season-High 23 Runs in Dominant Victory Over Longwood, Clinch No. 2 Seed

ROCK HILL, S.C. -- The Winthrop University baseball team dominated for a 23-5 victory over Longwood on Friday at Founders Field, powered by a season-high 21-hit offensive display. 

With the win, the Eagles clinched a bye in the upcoming Big South Conference Baseball Tournament, securing the No.2 seed.

The Eagles also recorded a season-high of 23 runs and 21 runs batted in during the game, reaching the 500 hits milestone with a total of 513 hits, including 21 in this game.
