BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Radford used a sixth-inning surge to edge the Campbell softball team 3-2 Wednesday night at Radford Softball Stadium.

Campbell controlled much of the game early. After reaching on a Radford error, senior Charlie Montgomery advanced to third on a fielder's choice. Sophomore Hannah Cornetto then forced a throw from the Highlanders, allowing Montgomery to dash home for the game's first run.

The Camels added another run in the third inning when sophomore Emma Slutzah was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, bringing home one and extending the lead to 2-0.

Radford's defense kept Campbell off the scoreboard the rest of the way. In the bottom of the sixth, the Highlanders capitalized on a throwing error before a two-run home run gave Radford a late lead.

Junior Emily Allegood started in the circle for Campbell and was strong through the first five innings, allowing five hits and no runs while striking out two. Allegood finished the game allowing three runs, none earned, on seven hits across six innings.

Senior Allyiah Swiney went 1-for-3 with a double and a run scored. Freshman Kylie Specht recorded Campbell's only multi-hit performance, going 2-for-4 at the plate.
