DELAND, FLA.-Junior first baseman Karlie Love blasted two home runs in game one to power Campbell past Stetson, 6-4, but the Hatters took the second contest 5-1 in Atlantic Sun softball action Saturday afternoon at Patricia Wilson Field.

CU moves to 23-13 overall and 1-3 in league play with the win, while the Hatters go to 27-13 and 1-1 in the A-Sun. The victory marks the first over the Hatters since March 28, 2005, when the Camels took a 3-1 decision in DeLand, ending a five-game skid to the Hatters. Campbell also improves to 4-0 in extra inning games this year.

In game one, Campbell jumped on the board first when freshman Katie Hinton, getting the start in centerfield, knocked in senior leftfielder Courtney Quinn in the third.

With the Camels leading 1-0 in the bottom of the sixth, Stetson's Amanda Lindsay tied the game with an RBI single.

The knot was short-lived, however, as in the next Campbell at-bat, first baseman Karlie Love, a junior from Mt. Airy, N.C., slugged a three-run homer to centerfield, scoring fellow junior Hilary Wheatley and freshman Katie Hinton, who went 4-for-4 at the dish in the contest.

In the Stetson seventh, junior Andrea Migliori matched Love's move though, knocking a three-run home run of her own to send the game into extra innings.

After a scoreless eighth, Love came up with more late-game heroics, sending another ball over the fence, the eventual game-winner, this time a two-run shot to right to give the Camels a 6-4 lead.

Sophomore hurler Brittany Stanley tossed nine complete innings to get the win, going to 12-4 on the season. The West Lafayette, Ind. native gave up four runs on five hits in the game, striking out seven and walking three. Amanda Lindsay, a sophomore from Byhalia, Miss., falls to 13-9, going the distance with six runs, while scattering 11 hits, striking out eight and walking three.

In game two, it was Stetson who grabbed the early lead, scoring a run in the bottom of the second off a CU error. The Hatters then added another run in the third, when junior Leonor Carreno singled in a run.

In the top of the fourth, freshman shortstop Amanda Miller pushed across a Camel run by way of a sacrifice fly, scoring Love to cut the Hatter lead to one. In the bottom of the inning, however, Stetson's Amanda Lindsay, filling the designated player role in game two, collected a RBI, knocking in sophomore Amy Joyce to give the Hatters a 3-1 lead.

Campbell threatened in the top of the sixth, as Katie Hinton led off with a double, followed by a pair of walks issued to Love and Miller, loading the bases, but the Camels could not capitalize. Then in the Stetson sixth, the Hatters tallied two more scores, taking advantage of on two walks, one CU error and one hit to increase their lead to 5-1, which they would hold.

Freshman Lauren Stephan, falling to 10-9 on the year, gave up five runs, two earned, on six hits with seven walks and three strikeouts in the outing for Campbell, while Hatter junior Erica Demers, moving to 14-4, took the win, giving up just one run on two hits with five strikeouts and three free passes.

The Camels return home next Wednesday, taking on the Phoenix of Elon in a twinbill at the Eakes Athletic Complex. Action is slated to begin at 4 p.m.
