HPU Baseball Wins Over the Islanders


High Point University baseball had their third game of the 2017 season on Sunday the 19th, as they faced New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Islanders, and it did’t lack excitement. 

The Panthers got off to a slow start as they were down four runs by inning four until Carson Jackson, HPU Junior, changed the Panthers momentum with a home run over left field in the fifth inning. The Panthers would go on to win over the Islanders 6-5 on home runs by Austen Zente, Jordan Sergent and two homers from Carson Jackson. 

Jackson was later named HPU athlete of the week. High Point has their first road game of the season today at 6 p.m. against the Wildcats of Davidson College where they look to improve to a 2-2 record.
