BUIES CREEK, N.C. - Campbell softball swept its doubleheader on the final day of the Campbell Invitational, defeating Mount Saint Mary's 8-0 in 6 innings, and N.C. Central 1-0.

The Camels move to 3-1 on the season while Mount Saint Mary's dropped to 1-3. N.C. Central, dropped to 0-5 after losing all of their games at the Campbell Invitational.

Game 1- Campbell 8, Mount St. Mary's 0 (6 inn.)
The Camels offensive explosion began quickly in the first inning, as the 2-3 duo in the Campbell batting lineup of Claudia Ware and Bri Bryant stayed hot from the previous night, as Ware ripped a double down the third-base line before Bryant brought her in with an RBI double to left-center.

Kayla Fredendall became the first to wear the Camel homerun chain this season as she sent an 0-1 fastball over the wall to score her and Bryant and extend the lead 3-0.

The final two runs of the inning would come from a Sterling Hairston two-RBI double that cleared the Mount's center fielder scoring Alexa Pagano and Morgan Rios pushing the lead to five runs.

In the bottom of the fourth, Alexa Pagano would record two RBIs herself, doubling off the wall in left center scoring Rios and Zaria Dunlap who was pinch-running for Fredendall.

Fredendall would put the exclamation point on Campbell's emphatic win in the bottom of the sixth inning, as she sent a 1-0 fastball towering over the right field wall as a defacto walk-off bringing in the run-rule into effect.

Redshirt freshman Kayla Howald (1-1) picked up the win in the decision after not giving up any runs and only two hits across five innings of work. Mount Saint Mary's Amanda Berkley (1-1) took the loss after giving up five earned runs off six hits in two innings pitched.

Game 2 - Campbell 1, N.C. Central 0
The high flying offense of the Camels came back to Earth in the second game of the day, starting pitcher Georgeanna Barefoot and the defense was up to the task, blanking the Eagles.

Barefoot (1-0) would secure the win after pitching a complete game, allowing no runs, three hits, and striking out 10 throughout her seven innings of work.

The last of which, came after working a full count to  the N.C. Central batter with two outs in the seventh with the tying run in scoring position on second. Barefoot would dial up a beautiful outside fastball that painted the corner for a called third strike.

The only run of the game came with two outs in the bottom of the second as Morgan Rios scored from second on an overthrow by the Eagles' shortstop attempting to throwout Katelyn Chisholm out at first.

N.C. Central's Kira Hurley (0-4) would take the loss after pitching six innings allowing two hits and one unearned run.
