Huffman Breaks the Career Stolen Base Record as Campbell Finishes Second at Elon Invitational

BURLINGTON, N.C.- Jessica Huffman stole three bases to become Campbell all-time stolen base leader as the Camels went 1-2 on the final day of the Elon Invitational finishing second place in the event.

Huffman now has 13 steals on the season and 83 for her career passing Denelle Hicks who held the record with 82 from 1993-96.

Campbell (8-6-1) defeated Ohio (4-8) 6-1 in the its second game of the day after dropping the opener 3-0 to Rutgers (1-7), who scored three runs in the top of the seventh. Connecticut (5-0) defeated the Camels 2-1 in the championship game of the event on the strength of a two-run home run.

Huffman went a combined 5-for-9 from the plate over the three games, while freshmen Olivia Ghiselli went 4-for-9, Shayla Cullum was 3-for-8 and Brittany Stanley went 3-of-8. Stanley (2-1) also picked up the win in the circle against Ohio tossing a complete game five hitter with six strikeouts.

The Camels jumped out 6-0 after the first three innings of the game against Ohio. Courtney Quinn singled home Huffman and Megan Paul in the first inning, Cullum singled home Lindsay Dobner in the second and Huffman brought home Stanley in the third on a single.

Rutgers scored three runs in the top of the seventh inning on a pair of RBI singles and a Campbell error. The Camels belted out seven hits but were not able to plate any runners.

In the championship game against UConn, Katie Dombrowski hit a two-run home run with two outs in the fourth inning to give the Huskies their only runs of the game.

Campbell rallied in the seventh with an RBI double from Ghiselli scoring Amanda Littlejohn. Stanley came within two inches of tying the game with a line drive up the middle, but Huskies' second baseman Jessica Quan picked it out of midair for the out.

The Camels return home on Wednesday afternoon hosting South Carolina out of the Southeastern Conference. First pitch of the doubleheader at the Eakes Athletic Complex is scheduled for 4:00 pm.
