NASHVILLE, Tenn.- After suffering a 14-0 loss in game one in which Belmont pounded out 19 hits, Campbell rebounded with a 6-5 triumph behind three home runs and a career performance on the mound by Ryan Hamme to earn a pivotal Atlantic Sun split, Friday night at Greer Stadium. Campbell (18-32, 11-18 A-Sun) snapped its eight game losing streak and improves to 15-2 when leading after the seventh inning.

In his first start against an A-Sun opponent of his career, Hamme (1-3), a junior from Wilmington, N.C., gave Campbell a much needed boost in game two as he earned his first victory of the season after twirling a career high seven strong innings and smashing his team-leading fifth home run of the season. Hamme's home run came just three pitches after freshman Graham Fronk launched his first career dinger. The last time a Camel hit back-to-back home runs was in 2003 when Jason Brown and Derek Barrows did it against High Point.

The two homers came after what proved to be the momentum changer of the series as Zach Johnson smoked a two-out two run home run in the second inning of game two to put the Camels on top 2-0. The long ball scored Brandon Scott from third, who robbed a dinger from Belmont's Derek Wiley in the bottom half of the first inning.

Scott, a senior from Robersonville, N.C., continued to be pesky on the base paths as he stretched a game two second inning single into a triple by swiping both second and third. Scott's two stolen bases improves his season total to 31, which makes him just the second player in Campbell history to have 30 or more stolen bases in a season. Scott is one away from tying and two away from breaking Nic Carter's single season record of 32.

Not only did Scott continue to climb Campbell's record books but he escaped a ninth inning jam to pick up his third save of the season in game two. Scott didn't allow a hit put an exclamation point on the win with a strikeout to end the game.

Belmont starter Josh Moffitt (2-6) was credited with the loss in game two as he completed six innings, but was touched for five runs and seven hits. Moffitt struck out four Campbell hitters without allowing a walk.

Belmont (20-29, 14-15) used the quality start from Carlo Testa and the hot bats of the Bruins' lineup to take game one. Testa (6-2), a junior Tallmadge, Ohio, picked up his team-leading sixth win of the season after throwing a seven inning complete game shutout. Testa struck out seven and only walked a pair in what turned out to be a shortened game due to the ten run mercy rule. Campbell senior Justin Lilly was strapped with the loss in game one as he allowed seven runs – five of which were earned – in three innings of work.

Not only did Testa do it from the hill but he was just as good from the plate as he went a combined 5-for-8 with a run scored and two RBI. Testa also grabbed his seventh triple of the season, which leads the A-Sun.

Campbell, who only had four hits in game one, was led by both Fronk and Hamme at the plate. Fronk finished the day going 3-for-6 with an RBI and two runs scored, while Hamme collected his team-leading 19^th multi-hit performance of the season. Hamme scored a run and knocked one in as well.

It didn't take long for the Bruins to put game one out of reach as Belmont posted multiple runs in every inning except for one. Belmont, who dropped SEC foe Tennessee on Wednesday, scored three runs in each of the first, third, fourth and fifth innings and tacked on two more in the bottom of the sixth. Six different players had multi-hit performances highlighted by an opposite field two-run home run by Wiley. The 14-0 loss matches Campbell's largest margin of defeat of the season.

Campbell bounced back in game two as Scott kept Belmont in check in the first inning after Testa blasted a two out triple to center field and Scott snatched what looked like Wiley's 14^th homer of the season to end the inning.

Campbell answered with Johnson's two run homer in the second and Fronk's and Hamme's solo shots in the third to take an early 4-0 lead.

It took two more innings until Campbell tacked on another run as Carlton Floyd scored on a Stephen Parsons single through the left side in the sixth. Floyd reached on a single up the middle and advanced to second on a throwing error by Belmont shortstop Packy Elkins.

After Campbell tacked on its final run in the seventh to make the score 6-1, Belmont mounted a comeback scoring two runs in both the seventh and eighth. Campbell reliever Hunter Ford ran into trouble as he walked two consecutive batters to lead off the eight, but fanned both Testa and Wiley. An RBI single up the middle by Daniel Wagner allowed Elkins to score and an error by Campbell third baseman John Watlington plated Brandon McCall, but Belmont's rally fell one run short after Scott shut the door in the ninth.

Campbell concludes its series with Belmont tomorrow (May 10) at Greer Stadium. The first pitch is slated for 2 p.m. CT.
