CHARLESTON, S.C. – Campbell's softball team (10-4) rallied from a three-run deficit in the bottom of the seventh inning to defeat Norfolk State (4-3) 4-3 in the first game of the Charleston Southern Tourney on Friday, Feb. 27 at Buccaneer Field.

Facing a 3-0 deficit with one out in the seventh, junior Cassie Webb started the comeback with a single. Sophomore Katie Woodcock was then inserted to run for Webb and moved to second on the foul out to the catcher. Senior Hilary Wheatley then singled to drive in Woodcock from second. Sophomore Amanda Miller kept the rally going with a single to put two runners aboard for sophomore Katie Hinton. Hinton then poked a triple to score both Wheatley and Miller and tie the score at three all. Freshman Taylor McGee then punched a single to score Hinton from third and give Campbell the come-from-behind victory.

Lauren Stephan (5-1) picked up the win for Campbell in relief. Junior Brittany Stanley was the CU starter going the first six innings with two runs allowed and five strikeouts. Candice Vasquez took the loss for Norfolk State giving up four runs and seven hits.
