Campbell University’s baseball team secured a 3-1 victory over the University of North Carolina Wilmington in a pivotal Coastal Athletic Association Tournament matchup, keeping its season alive.
Right-hander David Russow, the CAA Pitcher of the Year, delivered a stellar 7.2 innings, surrendering just one run on six hits while striking out seven batters.
The offense sparked early when Jonah Oster launched a leadoff homer in the fourth inning, opening the scoring for the Camels.
Campbell added two more runs in the fifth, capitalizing on RBI singles from Jett Music and Oster to extend the lead.
Trey Williford, the CAA Rookie of the Year, took the loss after allowing three runs over eight innings, but his effort kept the Seahawks within striking distance.
