JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. – Campbell (6-24, 2-7 A-Sun) had two ninth-inning comebacks fall short, as the Camels lost both games by a 5-4 count to first-place East Tennessee State (20-11, 7-2 A-Sun) Saturday afternoon at Cardinal Park.

Chris England (1-7) gave up three runs, only one of which was earned, in one inning of relief to take the defeat in game one. Caleb Glafenhein (9-2) threw his second complete game of the season for the ETSU win in game one, allowing two unearned runs while scattering seven hits.

Blake Herring (1-5) lost game two despite throwing his second complete game of the season. Herring has won just one of four career complete games. Todd Caldwell (2-0) went 6.1 innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits to pick up his second win of the season.

ETSU came from behind in game one by scoring three eighth-inning runs off Campbell's bullpen. Justin Aughey started the inning with a double off England and Tanner Moore brought him in two batters later with a single to tie the game. With two outs, the Bucs received two unearned runs on three straight throwing errors by third baseman Daniel Smith, to give them a 5-3 cushion.

The Camels scored an unearned run off a Ben Allen error in the ninth and brought the tying run to the plate in Zach Johnson, but Glafenhein coaxed a double play out of the freshman to preserve the one-run win for the Bucs.

Campbell broke a 2-2 tie in the sixth inning via Brandon Scott's legs. The junior stole third with two outs in the frame and scored as Buccaneer catcher Danny Petro launched his throw into left field, giving CU the 3-2 lead before the ETSU comeback.

Ryan Self launched a two-run homer in the second to tie the game at two and was complemented by two hits from Aughey and three hits from Anthony Russell. Jacob Allen and Johnson both had two hits for the CU sticks.

ETSU carried its momentum from the first game, jumping out to a quick 3-0 lead. Russell hit his first bomb, a solo shot in the first, preceding two Buc runs in the second on a Troy Mendez groundout and a Michael Courtney safety squeeze to give the Bucs the early 3-0 lead.

Camel starter Herring settled down after the first two innings, allowing just one hit over the next three innings. Caldwell was equally tough for ETSU until he ran into trouble in the sixth.

Smith started by getting hit by a pitch, and Floyd singled and Allen reached on a throwing error by Moore to give CU the bases loaded with nobody out. Caldwell responded by popping up Hamme and Scott and was helped by a diving stop by Tramble to get out of the inning unscathed, keeping it a 3-0 ballgame. The excitement from the stand carried to the next inning, as Russell drilled his second home run of the game for a 4-0 ETSU advantage.

The seventh inning saw Campbell plate their first runs and chase Caldwell from the game. Mike Causey singled with one-out and was brought in by a Johnson double for the first run and last batter for Caldwell. Tony Lombardi came in relief, and Smith greeted him with a sharp single to center, rounding out the scoring in the seventh and cutting the Buc lead in half at 4-2.

The Camels continued to claw their way back in the eighth, as Hamme started things with a single and came home on a one-out Meng double to trim the deficit to 4-3. Drew Story came in and retired the next two batters with Meng at third to keep ETSU in front by a run.

The Bucs got the run back in the bottom half with a two-out spurt, as Russell walked and moved to second on a Herring wild pitch. Petro then followed with his first hit on the afternoon to push the lead back up to two at 5-3.

For the second straight game, Campbell's comeback in the ninth fell short as Floyd started the rally with a two-out walk. Allen battled back from an 0-2 count, lacing a full count offering for an RBI-double, scoring Floyd to make it a one-run game. Story bore down and recorded his first career save getting Hamme to groundout to end the ballgame, securing the doubleheader sweep and series victory for the Buccaneers.

Allen had his best weekend of the year, going .545 (6-11) with four RBI over the three games. Johnson also had six hits in the set, batting .500 with three runs batted in. Russell slammed two home runs on his way to a .500 weekend (6-12) with four RBI.

Campbell out-hit and out scored the Buccaneers on the weekend by 33-28 and 18-16 counts respectively. The Camels also managed to go through the second game without striking out, the first time that has happened since May, 2004 against Mercer.

Campbell and ETSU are both in action on Wednesday as ETSU travels to Tennessee while the Camels host North Carolina A&T. Game time for both contests is at 7:00.
