DELAND, FLA.-For the first time since 1996, No. 5 Campbell started the league softball tournament 2-0, completing the day one sweep Thursday night against No. 4 East Tennessee State 6-3 at Patricia Wilson Field in Atlantic Sun Championship play.

The Camels move to 39-23 with the win, while ETSU falls to 29-32 after the 1-1 day.

Sophomore catcher and conference second team honoree Amanda Littlejohn finished the contest a double shy of the cycle, going 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI and two runs scored.

In the top of the first, Littlejohn knocked her first career triple, scoring senior leftfielder Courtney Quinn, before junior first baseman Karlie Love drove in the catcher to spot the CU an early 2-0 lead. In the fourth, a pair of ETSU errors, followed by a Robin Leathers RBI single gave the Camels another run.

The Camels added three more in the fifth, initiated by a Littlejohn solo homer, her 13^th on the year, with a Keeli Michael RBI base following. The final run of the inning was then scored on a passed ball, allowing freshman Kendall McDowell to cross, giving the Camels the 6-0 advantage.

The Bucs finally answered in the bottom of the fifth, following suit as sophomore Katy Jett knocked in three runs on a one out double to cut the game to a 6-3 Camel lead, but ETSU could not complete the comeback.

Sophomore hurler Brittany Stanley (23-9) claimed her 23^rd win of the season, moving into second on the all-time single season list behind only Andrea Nardalillo's 1993 mark. Stanley, a West Lafayette, Ind. native, surrendered three runs, two earned in the game, fanning eight while walking only one. Marissa Hardy (18-14), took the loss, giving up six runs, five earned, while striking out five and walking three.

Campbell will move on to face the winner of tomorrow's Gardner-Webb and ETSU game in day two action of the tourney, with that contest starting at 6 p.m.
