BUIES CREEK, N.C. -- Campbell had a lead in the eighth inning of game one and was tied with ETSU in the same inning of game two of the doubleheader but fell to the Bucs in both by scores of 4-3 and 6-4 at Taylor Field on Saturday afternoon.

With the sweep Campbell falls to 20-21 on the season with a 6-15 mark in Atlantic Sun action. ETSU improves to 22-17 and 11-7 in conference play.

Campbell raced out to a 2-0 lead at the end of two innings following an RBI single from Ellis Lowe in the first and a RBI groundout in the second by Cameron Nelson.

ETSU answered with a run in the top of the third off of a solo shot to right field from Paul Hoilman.

Zach Johnson gave Campbell a 3-1 advantage at the end of three frames as the senior slapped an single up the middle to score Alex Aycoth.

From that point it was ETSU starter Bo Reeder who dominated the Camels. Reeder only faced three batters over the minimum in the final six frames as he gave up two hits and a walk over that time.

ETSU pushed closer in the sixth as Kerry Doane slammed a first pitch offering from Jeff Rydman to deep left field to bring the score to 3-2.

Rydman ran into more trouble in the eighth as the senior gave up a lead off single to Andrew Green which ended the outing for the lefty. Parker Fleming entered the game and faced one batter, Hoilman, whom he walked on four straight pitches. The third Campbell pitcher of the inning entered the game, in Daniel Gardo, who gave up a RBI to Doane on a fielder's choice and allowed the go-ahead run after a single from Chas Byrne scored Hoilman.

Campbell went down in order in the bottom half of the eighth and ninth to seal the victory for the Bucs.

Jeff Rydman had a quality start for the Camels as the southpaw went seven plus innings while giving up three earned runs off of seven hits. The senior tied his season and career high in strikeouts with eight during his outing. Parker Fleming was dealt the loss as the sophomore faced just one batter yet gave up the walk that allowed the go-ahead run. Fleming falls to 1-1 on the campaign.

Bo Reeder lasted the entire contest for ETSU on the mound, he allowed three runs (two earned) off of nine hits and improves to 3-3 on the season.

In the rubber match of the series Campbell never led, yet tied the contest on three different occasions. ETSU notched the first score as Campbell starter Frank Zier walked in Matthew Scruggs to take the early 1-0 advantage.

Campbell answered with a run in the second following a sacrifice fly to right field from the bat of Bryan Braswell.

The Bucs took a 2-1 lead in the top of the fifth as Hoilman sent a single through the left side to score Garrett May.

The Fighting Camels tied it up again in the bottom half of the frame as Chris Bangi singled to center field to bring around Cameron Nelson.

The offense stayed silent until the eighth when both ETSU and Campbell put two on the board in their respective halves of the inning. ETSU scored the two in the stanza off of a sacrifice fly to right field by Derek Niesman and a single to center field from pinch hitter Michael Gonzalez. For Campbell it took a swing from the bat of Josh Holskey to knot the game at four as the sophomore sent a first pitch offering from Ben Booker deep to left field to collect his third home run of the season.

But ETSU took the lead for good in the top of the ninth as Doane scored on a wild pitch from Campbell reliever Logan Self. The Bucs added an insurance run as Byrne sent a sacrifice fly to left field to score Reeder from third.

Campbell starter Frank Zier lasted 7.1 innings while allowing four earned runs off of seven hits. The sophomore struck out eight yet was not a factor in the decision. Logan Self was charged with the loss as the freshman went 1.1 innings, while giving up two earned runs off of just one hit. Self falls to 1-1 on the season.

Ben Booker was credited with the win as he went eight innings while giving up four earned runs off of nine hits; Booker improves to 5-0 on the season.

Campbell will be back in action at Taylor Field on Friday night as they face off against non-conference opponent North Carolina Central. First pitch is slated for 6:00 p.m. The series will continue with a doubleheader in Durham on Saturday starting at 2:00 p.m. from the Durham Athletic Park.
