No. 13 Campbell rallies to knock off Asheville, 11-7
05.07.2023 | Baseball
All nine members of Asheville's starting lineup reached base at least once on Sunday. Michael Groves posted the lone multi-hit outing for Asheville going 2-for-4 with three RBI. Corbin Lanowitz, Cameron Johnson, and Tony Castonguay all picked up hits and drove in a run for the Bulldogs as well.
Campbell would strike first on Sunday with an unearned run in the second inning. Asheville, however, would rebound in a big way in the third. The Bulldogs would get to Campbell starter Cameron O'Brien for five runs on five hits in the frame to pull in front, 5-1.
The Camels, however, chipped away at the Bulldog lead scoring two in the fourth, one in the fifth, two in the sixth, and two more in the seventh to regain the lead. Groves provided a jolt for the Bulldogs in the seventh with a two-run home run to make it a one-run game, 8-7, heading to the eighth inning.
Following a scoreless eighth, Campbell gained some more breathing room with three runs in the top of the ninth inning, which proved to be enough to clinch the 11-7 victory over Asheville.
The Bulldogs will return to action on Tuesday when they visit East Tennessee State for a non-conference contest. First pitch between the Bulldogs and Buccaneers is set for 5 p.m.
