GREENVILLE — Cole Hallum's grand slam
in a six-run sixth inning helped Campbell to a 9-4 win over East
Carolina at Clark-LeClair Stadium on Tuesday night.
The Camels (14-2) won their 11th
straight game and halted a four-game winning streak for ECU (9-6).
The Pirates outhit the visitors 16-11
but loaded the bases with none out in the fifth without adding to a 3-1
lead.
The contest soon pivoted as Campbell
tied the score before Hallum hit the first pitch from Jimmy Boyd (1-3)
over the left field fence with the bases loaded for a 7-3 Camels lead.
Luke Lowery returned from a back
ailment to hit his fifth home run of the season, a solo shot in the
seventh to cut the lead to 8-4.
Bryce Harman (double) and Lowery each
went 3-for-5 for ECU. Eric Tyler, Travis Watkins and Kirk Morgan each
had two hits for the Pirates.
N.C. State transfer Brian Taylor went
3-for-4 for Campbell. Coley Thompkins (3-0) got the win in relief,
working four innings and allowing four hits with one earned run.
Grant Yost started for CU and went
four innings. Bobby Thorson pitched the ninth inning for the Camels.
The Campbell pitchers did not allow a
walk or record a strikeout.
ECU will host UNC-Greensboro (5-8)
for the second time this season at 3 p.m. today. The Pirates topped the
Spartans 8-3 on Feb. 21 en route to winning the 12th annual Keith
LeClair Classic.
