Pirates Outlast Campbell, 3-1
April 02, 2024 | Softball
Buies Creek, N.C. – Emma Jackson went 3-for-4 at the plate with three RBI and hit a solo home run in the top of the fifth inning as East Carolina defeated Campbell 3-1 at Amanda Littlejohn Stadium on Tuesday evening.
Anna Sawyer and Kanisha Anderson each went 2-for-3 for the Pirates (26-11, 3-9 AAC) who improved to 22-2 on the season when scoring first in games.
Jackson's nation-leading 22nd double of the season to score Sawyer got ECU on the board first in the top of the third inning and the outfielder's blast to left field gave the Pirates all the momentum in the fifth inning.
Campbell would make some noise in the bottom of the fifth after hitting a double followed by an RBI single to trim the Pirates' lead to 2-1.Â
The Pirates would answer in the top of the sixth on a Jackson RBI single to extend their lead to 3-1 and Addy Bullis would hold the Camels without hit over the next two innings to give the Pirates the road victory.
Taylor Apple (9-2) picked up the win, allowing just one hit in three innings of work.
Up Next
East Carolina returns home to host UTSA for a weekend series, beginning on Friday at 5 p.m. on ESPN+.
