The High Point University baseball team pounded out 22 hits and scored in seven of eight innings en route to a 20-13 victory over in-state foe Campbell on Tuesday afternoon at Coy O. Williard, Sr. Stadium.

The win marks the third in a row for the Panthers who improve to 3-1 on the season. Campbell dropped to 2-1 after suffering their first loss of the year.

Senior Randy Schwartz paced High Point collecting going 4-for-4 at the plate with five RBI.  In addition to Schwartz, who was a triple shy of the cycle, the Panthers had six other players with multi-hit performances including Robby Kuzdale (2), Jeff Cowan (2), Billy Alvino (4), Max Fulginiti (3), Alfie Wheeler (3) and Pablo Rosario (3).

Mike Causey led the Fighting Camels going 3-for-4 with an RBI.  Brandon Scott, Zach Johnson and Stephen Parsons had two hits apiece. 

High Point's Mike Caldwell (1-0) earned the victory allowing eight earned runs over 5.1 innings of work, while Carlton Floyd (0-1) took the loss for the Camels going one inning and giving up five runs, three of which were earned. For the game, HPU used five pitchers while Campbell sent seven different hurlers to the mound.

"I thought the hitters were exceptional today," said HPU head coach Sal Bando, Jr. "That's what we are going to have to do especially in the midweek. We need to be relentless in our pursuit and not give an inch because we are gonna have to come from behind. They did a good job of just staying with it and putting together good at-bats and making consistent, hard contact all night."

Campbell followed up a one-run first inning with a three-run top of the second after Brandon Scott stroked a two-run homer to give the Camels an early 4-0 lead.  Singles by Stephen Parsons and Mike Causey set the stage for Scott's second homer.

Campbell's early four run lead didn't hold long as High Point posted nine runs in the bottom of the second and plated at least one run in each of the next six innings.  In the bottom of the second the Panthers saw eight different players score runs, including two by Schwartz.

After High Point delivered a five run bottom of the fifth, highlighted by a Schwartz' second homer of the season and doubles by Fulginiti and Wheeler, Campbell answered with six runs in the top half of the sixth cutting the deficit to 16-12. The Panthers walked in a run in the bottom of the sixth to up their lead to 17-12.

Both squads plated a run in the seventh before the Panthers closed the scoring with a pair of runs in the bottom of the eighth when Cowan singled home both Kuzdale and Rosario.

The Panthers hit the road for the first time in 2008 on Wednesday when they visit No. 16-ranked Clemson at 4 p.m.
