Peterson Wins 600th Career Game In Softball's 2-0 Win Over UNC Wilmington

WILMINGTON, N.C. - Campbell's softball team (26-19) took the second game of its doubleheader with UNC Wilmington (11-31) by a 2-0 score behind the strong pitching of freshman Olivia Scarborough on April 12 at Boseman Field. Senior Amanda Miller drove in both runs for the Camels. The win was the 600th in the coaching career of head coach Drew Peterson.

Scarborough (3-2) was the story of the game in throwing the first shutout of her career. Scarborough allowed three hits with four strikeouts in the game. The complete game was the second of her career. Amanda Aditays (5-10) allowed just two runs in throwing a complete game for UNCW.

The Camels scored first with a run in the first inning. Senior Keeli Michael started the inning with a walk. She stole second, moved to third on a ground out and scored on Miller's short single to center field.

Miller homered to lead off the third inning to double the margin. The home run was her fourth of the season.

Campbell threatened in the fourth inning as senior Lauren Stephan and junior Christina Melton were hit by pitches. Michael then singled to left. On the play though, Stephan was thrown out after reaching third when she rounded the bag a little overly aggressively.

UNCW nearly broke through for a run in the sixth inning. Ashley Shingleton reached on a fielding error from the CU third baseman. She moved to second on a wild pitch and took third on a sacrifice bunt. After a strikeout and walk, Scarborough induced a lineout to end the potentially troubling inning.

The Camels travels to Florida for a pair of games in Jacksonville. CU is scheduled to take on North Florida on April 15 starting at 5 p.m. The Camels will then take on Jacksonville on April 16 at 1 p.m.
