Campbell University

Bisons Take Two from Softball

NASHVILLE, TENN.-Coming off an 18-run performance on Saturday, Campbell could not overcome Lipscomb in Monday's doubleheader at Draper Diamond, dropping both decisions of the doubleheader, 3-2 and 5-4.

CU falls to 28-18 with the loss and 4-8 in league play, while Lipscomb moves to 18-21 and 9-5 in A-Sun contests.

After the Bisons put up one run in the bottom of the first in game one of the day, Campbell senior leftfielder Courtney Quinn posted her 16th homer of the season, a solo shot in the top of the third to knot the game at one-all.

In the bottom of the inning, however, Lipscomb sophomore Abby Keese knocked a solo home run of her own, before Kellie Sirus, a LU sophomore, registered a solo homer of her own in the fifth, giving the Bisons a 3-1 advantage going into the seventh.

Campbell did threaten in its final at-bat, putting two runners on before freshman shortstop Amanda Miller singled in fellow freshman, Amanda Cline. The Camels could not capitalize, however, falling to the Bisons in the opener.

Sophomore hurler Brittany Stanley, falling to 15-7, tossed the complete game, scattering seven hits while giving up three runs and striking out four batters, while Lipscomb senior Kim Jacobson moves to 4-7, giving up two runs on seven hits with seven strikeouts and five walks.

In game two, it was the Camels who jumped on top first, as Quinn drew a bases loaded walk in the top of the second. Sophomore third baseman Shayla Cullum then added another CU run in the third, knocking in junior first baseman Karlie Love to give Campbell a 2-0 lead.

In the bottom of the third, the Bisons pushed two runs across, as Sirus and senior Heather Collins punched a pair of pitches up the middle to tie the Monday afternoon contest.

After nearly three scoreless innings, sophomore catcher Amanda Littlejohn put Campbell in the lead in the sixth, grabbing a two-RBI bas hit to score freshman Lizzie Goldbach as well as Quinn.

The Camel lead was short lived, however, as three Bisons scored on a pair of wild pitches in the bottom of the inning to give Lipscomb the 5-4 advantage.

Lauren Stephan, a CU freshman, took the loss in the contest, giving up five runs on seven hits, while striking out one and walking six to go to 12-11 on the year. Sophomore Christen Campbell registered the win for Lipscomb, pitching the latter five innings in relief of sophomore Alaina Jacobson. Campbell, a Bartlett, Tenn. native, gave up two runs in the game, striking out three and walking two, moving to 8-9 on the season.

Campbell will make the quick trip back home tonight, as Charleston Southern will match up with the Camels tomorrow in a 4 p.m. tilt at the Eakes Complex.
