JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – Campbell (6-22, 2-5 A-Sun) rode nine runs in the final three innings, including five in the seventh, to pick up a 10- Atlantic Sun victory over East Tennessee State (18-11, 5-2 A-Sun) Friday at Cardinal Park.

Quinn LeSage (1-6) picked up his first win of the year by pitching three-plus innings of relief, striking out three. Brandon Langston (5-2) suffered the loss, ending a 20-inning scoreless streak and a six-start stretch in which he was 5-0 with a 1.03 ERA.

Langston and the Bucs looked to be in control until the seventh inning, when the Camel offense put up a five-spot to snatch the lead. Robb Meng started the rally with a single, and Mike Causey's sacrifice attempt found a hole in the ETSU infield to put runners on first and third. With one out, Zach Johnson delivered with a 2-RBI double to tie the game at three. After a Daniel Smith sacrifice bunt for the second out, Camel went on a two-out roll, as Carlton Floyd, Jacob Allen and Ryan Hamme all delivered run-scoring hits to put the Camels up 6-3.

CU would put up four insurance runs in the eighth and ninth innings. Smith plated one in the eighth with a base hit and Allen came through with his second straight two-out hit, a 2-RBI single up the middle, to make it 9-3 after eight frames. After a quick ETSU eighth, Meng unleashed on a Jimmy Tidwell fastball in the ninth, launching it well over the 25-foot wall in left, to give CU a 10-3 cushion.

Allen's performance stood out among several fine offensive showings for Campbell, as he ended the night 3-5 with a double and three RBI. All three of Allen's hits came with two outs, as the sophomore had not recorded a hit (0-18) this season with two outs on the scoreboard.

ETSU made things interesting in the ninth, as the first five Bucs reached to start the frame, en route to three runs. Hamme came in from left field to pitch and allowed a single before striking out three straight Bucs to preserve the 10-6 victory.

The Buccaneers used single runs in the second, third and fifth innings to take a 3-0 lead. ETSU struck first when Tanner Moore lined a two-out double down the left field line to bring home Ryan Self. Troy Mendez tried to score from first on the play, but Hamme quickly threw the ball to Meng who caught a diving Mendez at home to keep the score at 1-0. An Anthony Russell double brought in Justin Tramble in the third and Danny Petro scored on a Brandon Scott wild pitch in the fifth after a lead-off triple to give the Bucs the 3-0 lead.

The win marked the first victory of the season for CU when trailing after six innings, as Campbell was 0-21 prior to Friday. The win also moved Campbell's record when leading after seven innings to a perfect 6-0.

Hamme and Meng both were 3-5, as two doubles led to two RBI for Hamme. Meng crossed the plate three times to go along with his home run in the ninth. Johnson added two doubles and Floyd also chipped in two hits to a 16-hit Camel attack that set a season high for hits.

Russell plated two runs for the Bucs while C.J. Lee, Petro and Tramble all had two hits to lead the way for the ETSU offense.

East Tennessee State and Campbell will finish up their series with a doubleheader at Cardinal Park tomorrow. First pitch for game one is scheduled for 1:00.
