Elon Drops Midweek To Longwood

Phoenix Suffers First Home Loss Of 2026

ELON – Elon suffered their first home loss of the 2026 season to Longwood Tuesday night. The Phoenix was bested 8-3 at Latham Park.
 
Brian DuRoff and Jake Hajdu continued their strong starts to 2026. Both had multi-hit games against the Lancers, and each drove in a run. Connor Roche collected a single, an RBI and reached three times.
 
Cole Miller made the first appearance and start of his college career against Longwood. Miller pitched three innings and surrendered just one hit. RJ Latkowski continued his run of scoreless outings with two innings of relief.
 
Elon falls to 4-4 on the season while Longwood improves to 7-1.
