About 25 Longwood students, known as the Lancer Lunatics, sat above the Longwood dugout, screaming loud enough to fill Davenport for the whole game.

The Lancer Lunatics, much like our Hoo Crew, supports all of its school's athletics. But they travel, too -- and they do it well.

They wore sundresses and plaid shorts, either to mock us, or because that's what they wear at Longwood
