BUIES CREEK, N.C. – The Fighting Camels walked it off for the third time in eight days to top UNCW 9-8 Tuesday night at Jim Perry Stadium. This time, Bryce Arnold played the hero with a one-out solo home run in the bottom of the ninth.
 
The win moves Campbell to 6-7 on the season, while UNCW falls to 7-5. Campbell has now won five of its last six, with three of those wins coming in walk-off fashion.
 
It didn't look like the Camels would need a walk-off tonight, but following a 30 minute rain delay in the bottom of the eighth inning, UNCW responded with a four-spot off of Zach Neto in the top of the ninth to tie the game at 8-8. Neto did escape the inning with the potential go-ahead run left on third base.
 
Arnold, who entered the game batting .074, launched his first home run of the season on a one-out, 1-2 pitch to left field.
 
Previously, Campbell jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the first before UNCW could record an out thanks to a pair of doubles from Neto and Belbin in the first inning.
 
Wilmington quickly answered with two in the second and a solo home run in the third to even the score. But the tie game didn't last long with Belbin notching his second RBI of the day on a productive groundout.
 
The Camels added two more in the fourth thanks to a Ty Babin double to deep right field and a Bryce Arnold safety squeeze to take a 6-3 lead. Campbell tacked on two runs in the eighth just before the rain delay with a little help from the Seahawks on a wild pitch and an error.
 
George Ferguson turned in his best outing of the year on the mound, tossing 5.0 innings, allowing three runs and striking out nine, tallying season-highs in both innings and strikeouts. Arnold helped Neto pick up the win despite allowing four runs in the ninth. UNCW's Cody Benton was tagged with the loss.
 
Campbell now gets set for its first true road tests of the season, a three-game series at No. 12 Liberty in Lynchburg, Va. First pitch on Friday is set for 4 p.m.
