Softball Returns Home for Doubleheader against Longwood Thursday at 4:00

BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Following a 12 game road trip, Campbell returns home for a doubleheader against Longwood Thursday afternoon in non-conference softball action. First pitch at the Eakes Athletic Complex is scheduled for 4:00 pm.

The Camels (23-31-1, 5-7 A-Sun) are coming off a pair of losses at No. 23 Virginia Tech Tuesday night in Blacksburg, Va. (11-1, 7-1), while the Lancers (15-13) have won five of their last six games including a 3-2 victory at Va. Tech last Wednesday.

Despite the pair of losses to the Hokies on Tuesday, a couple of Camels etched their name in the Campbell record books. Junior Lauren Caviness struck out six batters in game two giving her 166 on the season. The mark ties her total from last season for the most in a single-season in Campbell history.

Senior center fielder Jessica Huffman tied the Campbell single-season stolen base record with a swipe in the opener against the Hokies. She now has 38 on the season tying Denelle Hicks' mark set in 1995.

Freshman Shayla Cullum leads the Camels hitting .347 with six home runs and 27 RBIs. Over the past 21 games, the Visalia, Calif. native is batting at a .394 clip with four doubles, two home runs and 11 RBIs.

Caviness continues to be the Camels number one pitcher despite a 12-16 record on the season. The southpaw boasts an ERA of 2.24 and opposing hitters are only batting .206 off the Fuquay-Varina, N.C. native.

Longwood's lineup features three players hitting over .300 on the season led by Ryan Washington's .418 mark. Rachel Mills lead the Lancers in the circle with a 1.09 ERA and 7-3 record.

The Camels play 10 of their final 12 games at home including series against North Carolina State and North Carolina.
