Baseball Falls in Game Two After Power Surge from High Point

HIGH POINT, N.C. (March 8, 2025) – The Stonehill College baseball team fell to High Point, 21-9, in game two of its three-game set Saturday afternoon. With the loss, the Skyhawks dropped to 0-9 to start the season, while the Panthers improved to 11-4 overall.
 
HIGHLIGHTS
  • Juniors Sean McGee and Aidan Cohall launched their respective first and fourth homeruns of the season.
  • Graduate student Jack Thorbahn extended his hitting streak to eight games, while sophomore Aidan Sengenberger improved his to three straight.
  • Sophomores Cam Morrison, Will Christopher, and senior Taylar Gaspar added extra-base hits for the Skyhawks.
  • High Point's offensive output was fueled by six homeruns, including two from junior Brayden Simpson.
  • Simpson and sophomore Caleb Hammond paved the way for the Panthers, combining to go 5-for-7 at the plate with three home runs, six runs scored, and eight runs driven in.
  • Sophomore Dylan Story picked up the win on the mound after allowing just one run over 5.0 innings of work while striking out three.
HOW IT HAPPENED
High Point wasted no time establishing an early lead, as the Panthers built a commanding nine-run advantage after the first three innings. Key to the offensive outburst was a grand slam by Hammond, followed by a two-run home run from Simpson and a solo shot from graduate student Jackson Melton.
 
Stonehill responded in the top of the fourth inning, when senior Sam Parks launched a long fly ball to left field. The ball bounced out of the glove of the Panther leftfielder, allowing three runs to score and trimming the deficit to 9-3 in favor of High Point.
 
However, High Point quickly regained control. In the bottom of the fourth, redshirt junior Landen Johnson and Simpson each hit solo home runs. In the fifth and sixth innings, three RBI base hits from Thorbahn, Gaspar, and sophomore Grayson Sparr brought the Skyhawks within five runs.
 
High Point maintained its offensive momentum in the bottom of the sixth, adding four more runs to extend the lead to 15-6 heading into the seventh inning.
 
The Skyhawks fought back in the seventh, with back-to-back solo home runs from McGee and Cohall narrowing the margin to six. However, the Panthers pulled away in the eighth and ninth innings, adding six more runs to secure a dominant 21-9 victory.

Stonehill (0-9, 0-0 NEC) wraps up its three-game set at High Point University tomorrow afternoon. First pitch from Williard Stadium between the Skyhawks and Panthers is set for 1 PM.
