The Panthers were first to put a run on the scoreboard after Charlie Klingler led off the top of the first with a double to left field and advanced to third base on Peyton Carr's single. A sacrifice fly out from Blake Sutton plated Klingler and gave HPU the early 1-0 advantage.
 
Sean Duffy worked through the Elon line up in the bottom half of the inning, earning a strikeout before Sutton caught a runner attempting to steal second base to end the inning.

Don't steal on Sutton ?

The Phoenix got on the board after a solo home run in the bottom of the second and tacked on another run in the fourth before relief pitcher Everett Vaughan got the strikeout to end the fifth.

Swing & a miss!
