BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Patrick Marshall drove in three and Radford dealt Campbell a 6-2 loss Sunday at Jim Perry Stadium.

Matt Parrish was 3-for-3 for Campbell, picking up his second three-hit day in five games. Cole Hallum went 2-for-4 with two RBI, hitting his ninth home run of the season.
Mitchell MacKeith (3-2) earned the win, going 6 2/3 with two runs on six hits with three strikeouts and a walk. Daniel Bridgeman worked 1 1/3, giving up two hits, while Ryan Meisinger surrendered a hit in a scoreless ninth inning.
Campbell starter Grant Yost (3-3) took the loss, allowing five runs, four earned, on six hits with three strikeouts and three walks in seven innings. Andrew Witczak worked an inning with a hit, while Hallum pitched the ninth, allowing a run on two hits.
Radford led 4-0 after a Brad Keen sacrifice fly and a Campbell error gave the Highlanders a two-run seventh.
Hallum's two-run home run in the bottom of the inning gave Campbell life, slicing the RU lead to 4-2 before the Highlanders tacked on runs in the eighth and ninth for a 6-2 road win.
Campbell travels to nearby Duke on Tuesday, March 31, before returning to Big South play at Presbyterian April 2-4. CU returns home on Tuesday, April 7 against East Carolina.
