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.

the Camels.
The Campbell pitchers
