DURHAM, N.C. – Caroline Smith doubled with the bases loaded and Megan Richards tossed a complete game Sunday to lift Campbell to a 3-2 win at Duke in the regular season finale for both teams.
 
In a game delayed by thunderstorms in the area, Duke left the bases full in the fifth and seventh innings and Campbell (27-25) won its ninth in the last 11 outings.
 
Smith's bases clearing double provided the Camels with a 3-0 cushion in the third. Cassie Wancheck led off with a single and moved to second on a throwing error after Melissa Tullar reached on a fielder's choice. After Hannah Parker moved the runners up on a sacrifice, Melissa Herring reached on an infield hit. 
 
Smith doubled to right to send home Wancheck and Tullar and a fielding error allowed Herring to score all the way from first.
 
Raine Wilson's RBI double pulled the Blue Devils (29-26) within 3-1 in the bottom of the third.
 
A three-base error allowed Wilson to advance all the way to third with one out in the bottom of the seventh.  Amelia Wiercioch delivered a sacrifice fly to cut the margin to 3-2 with two out.  Duke then loaded the bases on a walk and a pair of errors before Hannah Pridemore grounded out to end the game.
 
Richards (17-11) allowed one earned run on seven hits and five walks while striking out four and stranding a dozen Duke runners in seven innings to earn the win. Wiercioch (11-12) suffered the loss, giving up three runs – two earned – on three hits in three innings.
 
Wancheck finished the day 2-of-2 at the plate, while Smith was 1-of-3 with her two-run double.

Campbell begins play Wednesday at noon as the fourth seed in the Big South Championship at Radford, Va., against fifth-seeded Gardner-Webb.
