BUIES CREEK \u2014 The Campbell softball team used late-game heroics to secure a 3-2 non-conference win Wednesday over Queens on a walk-off double by junior Janel Day.<\/p>\n
Both teams struck early, trading solo home runs in the first inning. Sophomore Emma Slutzah delivered the first home run of her career to even the score at 1-1.<\/p>\n
The game remained tied until Queens broke through with a solo home run in the top of the sixth to take a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n
With a one-run deficit, the Camels entered the bottom of the seventh. Sophomore Hannah Cornetto led off with a single, and junior Livie Davis followed with her first double of the season to put two runners on. With one out, Day entered as a pinch hitter and battled through a 10-pitch at-bat before driving a ball through the right side for a two-run double, sealing the walk-off victory.<\/p>\n
Day, Davis and freshman Kylie Specht each doubled, while Slutzah added the home run.<\/p>\n
