Campbell walks off Charleston for series sweep

BUIES CREEK — Jonah Oster's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the ninth lifted Campbell baseball past Charleston 3-2 on Sunday afternoon at Jim Perry Stadium. 

Campbell secured its third series sweep  and fourth overall series of the season moving to 11-1 in CAA play and 18-9 overall while Charleston falls to 10-17 and 5-11 in league play.

Joe Simpson led off the ninth taking a hit by pitch and Carlos Lugo drew a five-pitch walk before Logan Chapman moved the runners on a sacrifice bunt. The Cougars would intentionally walk Joey Morton to load the bases before Oster swung at the first pitch he saw to walk it off on a sacrifice fly. 

After four scoreless innings, the Campbell (18-9, 11-1 CAA) would strike as Lugo tallied an RBI groundout to score Simpson making it 1-0. Simpson tallied a base hit before advancing to third on a failed pick off attempt. 

Andrew Schuldt extended the Camels lead in the sixth, 2-0, beating the infield shift tallying on an RBI base hit through the right side. Schuldt's base hit was just the third hit of the game for the Camels. 

Charleston (10-17, 5-7 CAA) would even things up in the seventh as Nick Diaz ripped a two-RBI double down the left field line before the Camels walked it off in the ninth. 

Braxton Shaffer (1-0) earned his first career win as a Camel working the final two innings. He threw two scoreless innings and did not allow a hit in the outing. He collected a team-high four strikeouts. 

Caleb White secured his first career start as a Camel tossing 2.2 scoreless innings and did not allow a hit. Cooper Clark worked 4.1 innings in relief allowing two runs on three hits and picked up three strikeouts. 

Five different Camels picked up hits in the contest as Simpson led going 1-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored. The Camel offense was just 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position but were 2-for-4 with runners on third and less than two outs.
