BUIES CREEK, N.C. – The Campbell softball team dropped a tight 2–1 contest to ECU on Wednesday night at Amanda Littlejohn Stadium.

The Pirates opened the scoring in the first inning, using a leadoff double and a sacrifice fly to take a 1–0 lead. Campbell answered in the bottom of the second when sophomore Haley Krebs drew a walk, stole second and scored on a single through the right side by junior Livie Davis to tie the game at 1–1.

ECU regained the lead in the fourth on a single and a Campbell fielding error, bringing home what proved to be the game-winning run.

Davis finished 2-for-2 with an RBI and a walk. Junior Madison Ford, senior Charlie Montgomery and sophomore Emma Slutzah each added a hit, while Krebs reached base three times and scored the Camels' lone run.

Junior Kasey Wolfe kept Campbell within striking distance, allowing two runs, one earned, over six innings. Junior Emily Allegood worked a scoreless seventh inning with one strikeout.
