BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. – Josh Strong and Joey Strain limited Campbell to a run, and Winthrop clipped the Camels 2-1 Thursday in a Big South Championship elimination game.

After an Anthony Lopez double and a single from Brian Taylor in the top of the fourth, Strong and Strain held Campbell without a hit until the eighth, when Seth LaRue singled up the middle with two away.

No. 3 seed Winthrop (40-18) will face top-seeded Radford tomorrow at 10 a.m. Campbell, seeded sixth in the tourney, ends its season 32-25 overall.

Strong (8-3) picked up the win, going six innings with a run on six hits, two strikeouts and two walks. Strain earned the save, his ninth, working three innings with one hit and three punchouts.

Grant Yost (3-6) took the loss for Campbell, scattering a pair of runs on six hits with a season high nine strikeouts and just one walk. The junior retired 12 of 13 Eagles after Anthony Paulsen's go-ahead RBI groundout in the third, striking out the side in the fourth.

Cole Hallum worked a scoreless eighth, coming to the mound from left field with a man on and none out. After an intentional walk with two away, he struck out John Menken to end the frame unscathed.

Campbell jumped on the board in the first, with Cedric Mullins, who led off the game with a base hit, scoring on Kyle Leady's sacrifice fly.

Winthrop matched in the bottom of the stanza, with Brad Kaczka knocking in Tyler Asbill, who led off with a double.

Kaczka was 2-for-3 with a RBI and a run, while Asbill also went 2-for-3 and score once in the win.

Hallum and LaRue both were 2-for-4 for the Camels, while Mullins went 1-for-4 with a run for the Camels.
