UNC Greensboro rallied from a six-run deficit to hold off High Point, 11-10, in a wild non-conference baseball game Tuesday night in Greensboro.

Jarrett Santos (8-2) got the win in relief for the Spartans, while Travis Motsinger (0-3) took the loss for HPU.

Matt Keever hit his third and fourth home runs of the season for the Panthers.

High Point (6-38) jumped on top early with a pair of runs off UNCG starter Nick Starnes in the first. Rey Rojas led off the game with a base hit up the middle and advanced to third when Keever singled through the right side of the infield. Keever then broke to steal second and Rojas sprinted home on the throw for a 1-0 lead. Keever then advanced to third on a passed ball and scored on a base hit by Corey Stang to make it 2-0.

The Spartans (27-10-1) scored three runs off High Point starter Bob Helman in the bottom of the second. Following a single by Danny Valencia and a double by Nate Alden, Robbie Redic reached on a throwing error by shortstop Nate Hawley which scored Valencia. Both runners then came home on a double to right by Jesse Lavender.

HPU went back up with a three-run third. Chris Ramirez led off with a single and stole second, and advanced to third when Seby Renta extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a single to center to load the bases. Stang then scored Ramirez and moved Renta to second with a single into left. After Patrick Currin relieved Starnes on the mound, Matt Richardson hit a grounder to UNCG first baseman Justin Crist, whose throw to second sailed into left field, allowing Stang and Renta to come around and score and make it 5-3.

The Panthers broke through for four runs in the fourth, starting with Keever's lead-off home run off the scoreboard in right field. Ramirez and Stang then sandwiched singles around Renta's groundout, and after Stang stole second and Chris Draska walked to load the bases, Josh Cotten then drew a bases-loaded free pass to force in Ramirez. Richardson then doubled down the right field line to plate Draska and Stang for a 9-3 advantage.

The Spartans got one of those runs back in the bottom of the frame on an RBI single by Jay Maule, and added another in the bottom of the fifth on a Lavender base hit which scored Valencia to pull within 9-5.

UNCG then pulled even with four runs in the bottom of the seventh to tie the score at 9-9. Jeremy Roulin doubled home Lavender and eventually came home on a passed ball, and Alden scored Valencia and Crist with a two-run single.

The Spartans got the eventual winning run off Motsinger with two out in the bottom of the eighth. Crist's double to left scored Roulin from second, and Ryan Brincat's single into the corner plated Crist for an 11-9 advantage.

Keever connected on his second homer of the game in the top of the ninth to pull HPU within 11-10, but Santos got Ramirez to ground out to end things.

Santos went three innings and allowed one run to pick up the win for the Spartans, who out-hit the Panthers by a 16-14 count but stranded 14 runners. HPU left 11 men on base.

Renta's 11-game hitting streak is the longest for a Panther this season.

High Point gets a 10-day break from game competition for final exams before resuming Big South Conference play on Saturday, May 8, at 3:00 pm against VMI at Erath Field.
