The Campbell Camels secured a 5‑3 win over Hofstra on Tuesday night, a performance that not only clinches a spot in the Coastal Athletic Association championship game but also underscores the team’s resilience after a tightly contested matchup.
Offensively, the Camels leaned on timely power. Joey Morton’s three‑run homer in the sixth inning flipped the momentum, while Logan Chapman added a solo blast in the seventh to extend the lead. Both hits came against a Hofstra pitching staff that struggled to contain the Camels’ surge.
Pitching dominance
On the mound, Zach Sabers delivered a solid 6.1 innings, surrendering only two runs on five hits before being relieved. The bullpen continued the effort, with four additional pitchers combining to allow just one run on three hits, preserving the narrow margin.
Carlos Lugo capped the night with a save in the ninth, shutting down Hofstra’s late rally and sealing the victory. The collective effort on the mound highlighted the depth of the Camels’ pitching staff.
Looking ahead
The Camels now await the winner of the Northeastern versus Hofstra clash to determine their championship opponent. With a season record of 41‑15, Campbell enters the final with confidence built on both offensive firepower and a reliable pitching rotation.
