BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell fell in the series opener for the second week in a row, dropping the game against Stony Brook 7-3 Friday night at Jim Perry Stadium.

The game began a little over an hour after the scheduled start, as lightning moved into the area shortly before first pitch.

The Fighting Camels (22-10, 5-5 CAA) scored their three runs in the final frame with a three-run home run from Reed Stallman. The Camels avoided the shutout, to continue their two years plus streak of scoring at least one run in a game.

The Seawolves (16-16, 5-5 CAA) scored three runs in the third inning with two RBI singles. Chris Carson then hit a solo home run in the fourth to extend the lead to 4-0.

Campbell was unable to take advantage of multiple opportunities, leaving the bases loaded in three different innings without scoring. The Camels left 14 runners on base in the contest.

Cole Peschl was the starting pitcher for Campbell. He threw six innings, recording nine strikeouts and zero walks with five earned runs to his name.

Eddie Smink scored the win for Stony Brook. He also went six innings, and he allowed only three hits but walking six Campbell batters.

The Seawolves scored again in the sixth with a solo home run from Johnny Pilla, then in the seventh off an RBI single by Brett Paulsen.

Cy Cox and Simon Bargo pitched in relief for the Camels.
