CONWAY, S.C. – The High Point University baseball team fell at #15 Coastal Carolina by a score of 4-0 in the series finale on Monday afternoon in Conway, S.C. Senior Dominic Fazio had two hits and a double in the loss.

"You have to give Andrew Beckwith a lot of credit, he was very good," head coach Craig Cozart said. "That being said, I was still disappointed that we couldn't figure out a way to generate some offense. I truly thought when we won on Friday that we would figure out a way to win the series so this one was tough."

Freshman Andrew Gottfried allowed four earned runs in 5-1/3 innings and dropped to 4-3 on the season. The right-hander allowed five hits and four walks and struck out four.

Andrew Beckwith pitched seven scoreless innings for Coastal Carolina and improved to 7-1 on the season. Beckwith allowed just four hits while striking out seven.

High Point drops to 26-15 overall and 9-6 in the Big South with the loss while CCU improves to 31-11 overall and 13-2 in conference play.

Coastal Carolina took a one-run lead in the second inning with a solo home run by Conner Owings, his second of the series. The Chanticleers then added two runs on a bases-loaded single by Billy Cooke in the fourth to extend the lead to 3-0.

CCU tacked on a run in the sixth on an RBI single by Seth Lancaster to bring the final score to 4-0.

Fazio had two of the Panthers four hits in the contest, going 2-3 with a double and a walk. Sophomores Carson Jackson and Austen Zente recorded the other two hits for HPU.

High Point will hit the road once again on Wednesday, April 27, to take on UNC Wilmington in midweek action. First pitch is set for 6 p.m.
