HAMPTON, Va. – A four-run seventh inning came just a little too late for Hampton softball on Sunday as they fell 9-6 to Campbell in the finale of a three-game Big South Conference series.

The Fightin Camels took an early 3-0 lead on the strength of a three-run Kayla Fredendall home run.  They added one in the second on a Megan Mozingo single to score Avery Wheatley to push the lead to 4-0. In the third they scratched two across on a sacrifice fly by Wheatley and a run-scoring single by Bri Bryant.

Hampton got on the board in the fifth as with one out, Daniella Milloy singled and went to second on a groundout before scoring on a single by Kial Watts to trail 6-1.

Bryant's two-run single highlighted a three-run sixth for Campbell to lead 9-1, but Hampton started a rally with a run in the sixth as DaSha Hill singled and went to third on an error before scoring on a single by Brianna Anderson.

In the seventh, Taylor Warrick smacked a three-run triple and later scored on a single by Hill brought Hampton to 9-6.  Hill was 2-for-4 with a run scored and one driven in, while Kial Watts was 2-for-2 for Hampton.

Hampton is now off until March 23 when they travel to Presbyterian for a three-game series starting with a doubleheader on Saturday at 1 pm.
