BUIES CREEK, N.C.-Sophomore hurler Brittany Stanley tossed Campbell's third perfect game in the program's history, leading the Camels to a 2-0 win over Gardner-Webb in Atlantic Sun softball action Friday night at the Eakes Complex. The Bulldogs, however, escaped with a 4-3, nine inning win in the second set.

Campbell moves to 36-22 overall and 8-12 in conference play with the split, while the Bulldogs go to 21-31 on the year, and 6-16 in A-Sun contests.

Stanley (20-8), a native of West Lafayette, Ind., pitched the first perfect game of her career, with the last unblemished performance by a CU pitcher coming on April 11, 2005, when Lauren Caviness blanked Appalachian State. The second year Camel also became the third pitcher in Campbell history to reach 20 wins, with Andrea Nardolillo (1993) and Christine Hornak (1994, '95) accomplishing the feat previously.

Courtney Quinn, a senior leftfielder, put up CU's first run of the game in the first inning, as the leadoff batter slugged her 19^th home run of the year to put the Camels up 1-0. Freshman Kendall McDowell, running for Quinn who drew the free pass, added the next Campbell run, scoring on a wild pitch.

Cindy Boomhower (3-9), a freshman pitcher for the Bulldogs, took the loss, giving up two runs on three hits with four strikeouts and three walks.

After the excitement of game one, the second tilt was no letdown, as nine innings were needed to decide the outcome.

The Bulldogs pushed three runs across in the third inning to start thing off, scoring their first run of the day on an Angie Walls home run. Gardner-Webb added two more runs when sophomore shortstop Melody Harrell laced a single to right, scoring centerfielder Kelly Linsley and third baseman Lindsay Cox.

The Camels bounced back in the fifth, scoring a couple of runs on a Shayla Cullum double. Quinn, along with freshman centerfielder Katie Hinton crossed on the play, bringing the Camels within one. In the sixth inning, CU added another score, as freshman catcher Amanda Cline knotted the game with a base hit to center, scoring second baseman Keeli Michael, another Campbell rookie.

After two and a half scoreless innings, the Bulldogs managed a run in the top of the ninth inning, with senior leftfielder Jessi Williams taking credit for the RBI base hit.

Campbell freshman Lauren Stephan (15-14) took the loss for the Camels, going the latter six and two-thirds while giving up one run on five hits, with four walks and one strikeout. Taryn Beck (9-13) earned the win for the Bulldogs, tossing three and two-third innings in relief, while allowing just one hit. The senior fanned four Camels while walking three.

The Camels have one more doubleheader on their schedule before heading to the A-Sun conference tournament, facing the Ospreys of North Florida on May 3 at the Eakes Complex.
