JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - Campbell's softball team (28-22, 10-7 Atlantic Sun) defeated East Tennessee State (15-30, 3-14 Atlantic Sun) 7-1 in the team's first game at the Betty Basler Field on Friday, April 22.

Senior Katie Woodcock (11-2) threw a complete game three-hitter to earn the victory. The loss went to Jessica Duncan (8-13), who allowed four runs in two innings. Shelby Morris threw five innings and allowed three runs in relief.

The Camels defense found itself in trouble to start the first inning on back-to-back hits from Sam Lower and Katie Henderson. A bunt moved both runners over a base. Junior Christina Melton then made a nice defensive play to cut down the lead runner at the plate on a bunt attempt from Katie Wolff. Woodcock induced a ground out to second to end the inning.

CU's offense capitalized on the change in momentum and scored three in the second inning. Freshman Raven Lee and senior Lizzie Goldbach walked to start the frame. Woodcock was inserted to run for Lee and both she and Goldbach scored on Melton's three-run home run. The home run was her fifth of the season.

The Camels added two in the third inning. Senior Amanda Miller led-off the CU third with a home run. The home run was her fifth of the campaign. Sophomore Sarah Forgacs then punched a single through the right side, stole second, moved to third on a fielder's choice and came in to score on Lee's fielder's choice grounder.

CU added the final two runs to the lead in the fifth. Miller walked and went to second on Forgacs' bunt single. The errant throw off the bunt allowed her to reach third. A wild pitch allowed Miller to scamper home with the team's sixth run. Forgacs, who had moved all the way to third on the wild pitch, then scored on senior Lauren Stephan's sacrifice fly.

ETSU chipped away at the lead with a run in the bottom of the frame. Sam Lower reached on a fielder's choice and took second on the overthrow from the CU second baseman. Katie Henderson followed with a double down the left field line to score Lower.
