BUIES CREEK, N.C.-In a night that involved Campbell senior Courtney Quinn's record 15^th home run of the season, a triple play, as well as a one and a two-hitter, the Camels earned a split with USC Upstate in Atlantic Sun softball action, losing 1-0 and winning 5-1, Friday at the Eakes Complex.

Quinn, who had gone five contests without a round tripper, the second longest drought for her this season, now stands alone in sole possession of the single season home run record at Campbell University. The senior came into the game tied with former great Shannon O'Bryan, a mark she reached in 2001.

The Camels, dropping just their first home game this season, go to 26-14 overall and 2-4 in league action, while the Spartans fall to 18-9 with the split and 4-4 in the A-Sun.

Freshman Spartan hurler Morgan Childers owned the game one decision, battling with Campbell's sophomore right-hander Brittany Stanley, tossing a one-hitter against the Camels, who average over eight hits a game. Stanley, who held a two-hitter until the seventh, ended the game with only five. Childers and Stanley, in fact, combined to allow just four base runners through six innings of play.

The Spartans finally capitalized in the top of the seventh, scoring on a Lauren Quevedo RBI. Down 1-0 in the bottom of the inning, however, the Camels threatened, as freshman Amanda Miller reached first after being hit by a pitch. With two out and Miller on first, sophomore third baseman Shayla Cullum nearly ended the game in favor of the Camels, but her towering fly ball settled just short of the 220-foot fence in left field, sealing the win for the Spartans.

Childers grabbed the win in the complete game, one hit shutout. The Kings Mountain, N.C. native fanned 13 Camels in the process, walking two to move to 15-4 on the year. Stanley was charged with the loss, striking out four without a walk in the game, while scattering five hits and giving up just one run to fall to 13-5.

After being one-hit in the opening contest, the Camel bats came alive, scoring a run in their first at-bat off a Keeli Michael single. Campbell then put up two more in the second, as Quinn's historic blast game the Camels a 3-0 lead.

Stanley, who played the designated player role in game two, knocked a homer of her own in the fourth, a solo shot, before sophomore catcher Amanda Littlejohn registered a RBI to send the Camels up 5-0.

USC Upstate did get on the board in the top of the sixth, as junior rightfielder Heidi Gibbs, who reached on an error, scored on a Courtney Feldon single to cut the deficit to 5-1, but that's where the score would remain.

Freshman Lauren Stephan, who tossed a quiet four strikeout, two walk two hitter, collected the win for CU to move to 12-9 on the year, while sophomore Brittany Rice took the loss, moving to 2-5 on the season. Rice surrendered five runs on 12 hits, striking out two batters.

The Camels will be back at the Eakes Complex tomorrow, taking on another A-Sun rival in Mercer. Game one of the doubleheader is slated to start at 2 p.m.
