Zach Johnson later knocked in the first Camel run as he reached on an error by NC State starting first baseman Pratt Maynard but still registered the RBI as Bangi and Lowe crossed the dish. Later in the inning it was a Kevin Nelson triple to center field that brought around Zach Johnson as well as Alex Aycoth to score. Cameron Nelson followed his cousin with a triple to right center that brought around Kevin Nelson to tie the contest at 5-5.

That signaled the end of the outing for NC State starter Danny Healey but the scoring continued as DJ Johnson knocked a double down the left field line that scored Cameron Nelson. Finally the scoring came to an end as Lowe came back up to the plate and reached on a throwing error from third baseman Andrew Ciencin to take a 7-5 lead.

Things settled down until the bottom of the third when the Camels plated four runs off of a Bangi triple to right center that scored three runs. Later in the inning it was Lowe who sent a double to right field that scored Bangi to push the Campbell lead to 11-5.
