No. 11 Duke Powers Past Campbell, 12-2
5/3/2022 11:01:00 PM | Softball
BUIES CREEK, N.C. – No. 11 Duke softball (37-7, 16-3 ACC) ended the non-conference schedule on a high note, scoring 12 runs on 13 hits to defeat Campbell, 12-2, on Tuesday night at Amanda Littlejohn Stadium.
Â
Jala Wright (10-2) earned the win in the circle, allowing just three hits and two runs, while striking out six Camels (31-16, 18-6 Big South). Nine different Blue Devils reached base in the win, with Ana Gold and Kristina Foreman each driving in three runs.
Â
The first inning started off quickly, as Jameson Kavel walked and stole second base before getting to third on a fly out. Rachel Crabtree promptly drove her in with a single, starting a three-run frame. The Blue Devils loaded the bases and Gold would make Campbell pay with a two-run single to lead 3-0.
Â
While the Camels scored two in the bottom of the first, the Blue Devils quickly added on the next inning. Kavel was a catalyst once again, notching a single and stolen base to set up Gisele Tapia who laced a single to right field for a 4-2 advantage.
Â
In the third, Francesca Frelick added another run to the lead, launching a home run to left center field for a 5-2 lead. Wright would continue to hold the Camels in check, striking out two in the bottom half of the third to maintain the lead.
Â
After adding another run in the fifth inning on a wild pitch, the Blue Devils broke through on the offensive end in the last two innings. Crabtree tripled to reach base before Foreman plated her with a single to right center field for a 7-2 lead. Gold would drive her home on a bunt single that forced a throwing error by the Camels defense and Caroline Jacobsen would tack on another run with a sacrifice fly for a 9-2 lead.
Â
The Blue Devils ended the game with a power surge, as Tapia launched a home run to center field for a 10-2 lead. Foreman put the game on ice after Crabtree reached on an error with a booming home run of her own, to take a 12-2 advantage. Claire Davidson would polish off three scoreless innings of relief in the bottom of the seventh to secure the victory.
Â
Duke will return to open a three-game set against Pittsburgh to conclude the regular season. The Blue Devils will meet the Panthers for game one at 7 p.m., on Thursday, with the game slated to be televised on ACC Network.
