BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Senior Katie Woodcock picked up a save in the first game and the win in the second game to power Campbell's softball team (18-17, 4-2 Atlantic Sun) to a sweep of league rival Stetson (14-17, 0-2 Atlantic Sun) on Tuesday, March 29.

Woodcock entered the first game in the seventh inning with CU nursing a one-run advantage and promptly found herself in trouble. Meredith Owen greeted her with a single through the left side. Lindsey Guenther was inserted to run for Owen and moved to second and then third on back-to-back hit by pitches by Brittany Knipp and Chrissy Morello. Woodcock then struck out Chelsey Trotto for the first out. Morello was ruled to have left first early for the second out. Alyssa Oddo struck out to end the game. The save was Woodcock's nation-leading sixth of the season.

Stetson started the scoring and pushed a run across in the third inning. Morello singled, stole second and scored on Trotto's double.

Campbell scored all the team's runs in the opening game in the fourth inning. Junior Taylor McGee tied the game with her seventh home run of the season. Freshman Raven Lee followed with a single to left. Fellow freshman Jessi Lane was inserted to run for Lee and motored all the way around the bases and scored on sophomore Sarah Forgacs' double.

Junior Christina Melton (4-3) was dominating in the circle for Campbell and allowed just five hits and struck out nine in six innings. Melton has now fanned 19 batters in her last two conference outings. Owen (5-6) was the tough luck loser for Stetson. She allowed just five hits and two runs with six strikeouts in her six innings of work.

Woodcock (6-1) received the start in the second game and threw five effective innings. She gave up three runs (two earned) with no walks and four strikeouts.

The Camels took the lead in the second game in the second inning as senior Lauren Stephan doubled in McGee with the team's first run.

The Hatters tied the game up in the third. Knipp reached on a lead-off single, moved to second on a Trotto single, took third on a bunt single from Oddo and scored on a throwing error from the CU pitcher.

Campbell promptly took the lead back with three in the third inning. Senior Keeli Michael singled to center. Fellow senior Katie Hinton reached on a bunt single. Forgacs was then hit by a pitch to load the bases. A walk to McGee drove in Michael with the first tally of the frame. Lee then poked a single through the right side to score Hinton and Forgacs and give Campbell the lead for good.

The CU offense added two more to the lead in the fourth on back-to-back home runs from Michael and Hinton to increase the margin to 6-1. The home run by Michael was her first of the season. The homer from Hinton was her second.

Stetson began to creep back in the game with two in the fifth inning. Knipp doubled and was aboard on Morello's home run.

CU answered with a two-spot in the bottom of the frame. Forgacs walked, moved to second on a ground out, took third on a Lee single and scored on Stephan's single up the middle. Freshman Katie Andrews pinch hit and picked up her first career hit and RBI as pinch runner Jessi Lane scored from second on the single up the middle.

The Hatters closed the gap to 8-6 with three runs in the sixth inning. After the first batter was retired, Chelsea Whalley, Camille Czarnecki and Knipp singled. Whalley scored from second on Knipp single as the CU first baseman threw ball away passed the covered first base bag. Morello then drove in Czarnecki with a single. Trotto followed the team's fifth single of the inning to load the bases. After the second out was recorded on a strikeout, Katelyn Perna was hit by a pitch to drive in Knipp.

Stetson made the game exciting to the last out in the seventh inning. Sophomore Brittany Arnn was inserted to pitch to start the frame and gave up back-to-back singles to Jill Semento and Whalley. Arnn retired the next two in order. Morello loaded the bases and reached on the fielding error from the CU shortstop. Trotto then singled in Semento with her infield single. The single allowed Whalley and Morello to move into scoring position with the game-tying and the potential game-winning run. Oddo was then struck out by Arnn to preserve the 8-7 victory. Arnn earned her second save of the season with the exciting seventh inning.

Courtney Gunby (2-6) allowed five runs (four earned) in 3.2 innings in the loss for Stetson.

The Camels take to road and travel to the city of Nashville to take on Lipscomb (April 1) and Belmont (April 2) later this week. CU is slated to take on Lipscomb at 5 p.m. EST on Friday evening.
