HIGH POINT, N.C. – The High Point University baseball team rallied from an early four-run deficit to nab an 8-6 victory over visiting Dayton on Saturday afternoon at Williard Stadium.
 
High Point (3-3) trailed 4-0 after an inning and a half, but worked their way back into the game thanks to some erratic pitching from Dayton (1-4) starter Jordan Cox. Redshirt-junior Daniel Millwee and senior Hunter Lee drew consecutive two-out bases loaded walks in the last of the second to slice the deficit in half at 4-2.
 
An inning later, back-to-back sacrifice flies from senior Jordan Sergent and senior Carson Jackson evened the score at four apiece. The Panthers weren't done, though, as a hit batter and a walk brought Millwee to the plate. The Panther backstop took advantage of the opportunity, crushing a three-run blast to left-center for his second dinger in as many days.
 
Millwee went 2-for-3, reaching base four times and driving in four. He's now driven in 11 runs in the last three contests.
 
High Point's combination of sophomore Grey Lyttle and redshirt-junior Jonny Vizcaino settled the game down on the mound. Lyttle allowed two inherited runners to score but otherwise pitched two scoreless frames. Vizcaino (1-0) was credited with the victory after authoring three double play balls in 3.1 innings of work. He gave up a run on four hits, struck out three and walked one.
 
HPU added a run in the last of the sixth inning on Sergent's second sacrifice fly of the day, moving High Point ahead 8-4. It turned out to be a crucial tally as Dayton struck for single tallies in each of their last three at-bats. Junior Cooper Jeffers was summoned with two on and one down in the ninth and coaxed a double play and a strikeout to finish off the game, earning his first save of the year.
 
The Panthers and Flyers will wrap up the series with game two of a doubleheader Saturday afternoon.
