High Point just took a 7-5 lead over Vanderbilt in the 7th. Vandy on the brink of elimination already. 👀
Tie game -- 3-3 after Clemson's Jarren Purify's RBI single in the bottom of the sixth. He's fired up and High Point has a backup warming up in the bullpen for starter Gus Hughes (8 hits allowed so far)
