BUIES CREEK, N.C.- UNC Wilmington's Larry Salefsky escaped a ninth inning bases loaded jam and the Seahawks used a five run fourth to hand Campbell a 6-4 loss at Taylor Field on Tuesday night. UNC Wilmington (10-4, 3-0 CAA) has taken nine straight contests from Campbell (6-6, 4-2 A-Sun), and also extended its current winning streak to nine games.

Allen Flood (1-0) threw 2.1 scoreless innings out of the bullpen for the Seahawks and picked up his first win of 2008, while senior right-hander Salefsky was credited with his fourth save of the season after he threw an inning of hitless baseball. Campbell's Ryan Hamme (0-1) took the loss in his first start of the season allowing four runs over 3.1 innings of work.

Five different Camels had multiple hit games including freshman Ellis Lowe, who recorded his fifth of the season. Hamme, a junior from Wilmington, N.C., stroked a season high three hits and tallied his fourth straight multi-hit game highlighted by an RBI single in the first inning. Brandon Scott, Zach Johnson and John Watlington had a pair of hits each.

Campbell took advantage of two throwing errors in the bottom of the first inning plating two runners and jumping out to an early 2-0 lead. Johnson started the inning off reaching base after being hit by UNCW's starter Brett Braxton and scored on a Hamme single. An error by Daniel Hargrave allowed Hamme to advance to second putting him in scoring position for the first of Scott's two RBI on the day. Scott also lifted a ball to right-field in the third inning which plated Lowe on a sacrifice fly giving Campbell a 3-0 advantage after three innings.

UNCW broke through in the top of the fourth against Hamme, who held the Seahawks hitless over the first three innings. The Seahawks collected five runs on five hits off both Hamme and reliever Hunter Ford to take a 5-3 lead. Snyder doubled inside the third base bag off of Ford to give UNCW a 4-3 lead. Senior Justin Barefoot knocked in the fifth and final run of the inning with a sacrifice fly leaving the score in favor of UNCW 5-3.

After Campbell's Stephen Parsons and Watlington drew back-to-back walks in the home half of the fourth, an RBI single by Johnson capped the Camels' scoring off prematurely. UNCW relievers kept Campbell scoreless in its next five chances.

Campbell's last valid attempt fell just short in the bottom of the ninth inning after UNCW left-hander Cameron Roth walked Lowe and hit Hamme with a pitch. Former Campbell pitcher Salefsky came in relief of Roth and quickly forced Scott to fly out in foul territory, followed by a pair of strikeouts to end the game. The 6-foot-7 right-hander grabbed his fourth save of the season in his sixth appearance.

Despite out-hitting UNCW 11-10, Campbell snapped its three game winning streak which was the longest of the season. UNCW distanced itself in the all-time series and now leads 50-33.

Campbell concludes its five-game homestand hosting Elon tomorrow night (Mar. 12) in a 7 p.m. tilt at Taylor Field.
