Campbell Claims 10-9 Win Over Butler in Extra Innings

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Campbell scored a run in the bottom of the ninth inning to tie the game and the Camels would go on to complete the series sweep vs. Butler with a 10-9 win over the Bulldogs in the bottom of the 10th inning. Pierson hit a two-out solo home run in the ninth to make the game 9-9. Campbell played small ball in the 10th and used a sac bunt to move a runner into scoring position. Howard scored the game-winning run off a Thompson single.
 
Butler once again jumped out to an early lead at Jim Perry Stadium, but they were unable to hang on for the win. Garret Gray and Lukas Galdoni scored in the third and a three-RBI double to left center from Kollyn All in the fifth gave BU a 6-0 advantage.
 
Campbell got on the board in the bottom of the fifth with two runs and the 'Dawgs would get those two runs back in the sixth on a Joey Urban homer. Butler scored their final run in the seventh off a wild pitch, but the tide would turn after the stretch.
 
The Camels scored four runs off five hits in the seventh and two more runs in the eighth would get the home team back within one. Pierson's homer tied it and the game ended in the 10th after the Thompson single.
 
Aaron Barokas struck out five batters over four innings and Alex Voss would contribute with 3.2 innings on the mound. The loss went to Jon Vore (0-1) and the win went to O'Brien.
 
Butler will play at Indiana on Tuesday. First pitch is set for 4 PM.
