GREENSBORO, N.C. – Rutgers baseball dropped its series finale to High Point by a score of 6-2 on Sunday afternoon. The Panthers (5-11) scored three runs in the fourth and fifth innings to earn the victory over the Scarlet Knights (10-4) and secure the weekend series. 

With the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the fourth, HPU hit a high fly ball into left that got caught up in the wind and neither RU outfielder was able to come down with it. All three baserunners scored to make it 3-0. The Panthers loaded the bases again in the fifth and scored a trio of runs on an error, sac fly and wild pitch to make it 6-0. 

The RU lineup was finally able to get on the board in the ninth on an RBI double from Trevor Cohen. Tony Santa Maria nearly cleared the wall in right field for a home run later in the inning but had to settle for a sac fly to make it 6-2. That would be all for the offense, as a flyout ended the game. 

Rutgers is back in action for a pair of midweek games at North Carolina, set for 6 p.m. on Tuesday and 5 p.m. on Wednesday.
