BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Matt Parrish went 3-for-4 and Zach Minnick drove in two to lead Campbell over Presbyterian 7-5 Sunday at Jim Perry Stadium, winning the Big South series for the Camels.
Campbell moved to 24-22 overall and 11-7 in Big South play with the win, while PC dropped to 24-23 on the season and 10-11 in conference games.
Campbell took game one of the series Friday night 1-0 behind Nick Thayer's complete game shutout before PC evened the set with a 4-2 win Saturday.
Parrish singled and scored in the first, third and seventh for the Camels in the win, coming around on Minnick hits twice. Minnick's RBI single in the first gave Campbell a 2-1 lead, and the freshman's double to center two innings later was part of a four run CU third.
Parrish also knocked in a run and Adam Wyse singled in two more in the third for the Camels, going ahead 6-1.
Anthony Lopez also homered in the first, his sixth of the season and second of the weekend, answering after PC put up a run in the opening frame.
The Blue Hose clawed back with four runs over the final five stanzas, including a Tyler Weyenberg RBI single with two out in the ninth, but Erik Dowse notched a strikeout to close the door, one of four punchouts for the junior reliever.
Michael Horrell (5-4) earned the win, going seven innings with four runs, three earned, on six hits with two walks. Dowse picked up the save (4), working two innings with a run on three hits and four strikeouts.
David Sauer (4-3) took the loss, going seven innings with seven runs on 12 hits, four strikeouts and a walk. Hayden Deal also struck out one and walked a batter in an inning of relief.
Junior Snow added a 2-for-4 day for the Camels, and Drew Butler went 1-for-2 with a RBI and a run.
Jacob Midkiff and Weston Jackson were both 2-for-4 for the Blue Hose, with Midkiff driving two runs home in the loss.
Campbell will head to Elon next Tuesday, May 10, before hosting High Point in its home finale, May 13-15.
