Double Digit Strikeouts from Hannah Houge and a Grand Slam Walk-Off from Sarah Price Sweep Campbell in a Double-Header on Saturday Afternoon

Spartanburg, S.C. – Following a sweep of S.C. State on Tuesday afternoon, Upstate swept Campbell in a double-header on Saturday. Game one brought a 4-2 victory followed by an 11-1 walk off after Sarah Price hit her first career grand slam.  
  

The Spartans took a two-run lead in the bottom of the first inning to set the tone in game one against Campbell. Campbell was able to put one run on the board in the top of the third and get the equalizing run during the top of the fourth. Regardless, Upstate was able to maintain control of the game, scoring two runs in the bottom of the fourth and holding the Camels scoreless for the remainder of the game. Hannah Houge earned her 15th win of the season as she pitched 7.0 innings, surrendering five hits and two runs, and recording 11 strikeouts.  

Game two went scoreless for the first two innings. Campbell took the lead in the third with a home run from their leadoff batter in the inning. Upstate responded with two runs in the bottom of the fourth, one of which was Peyton Darnell's 10th home run. The Spartans extended their lead with a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning, only to solidify the win with seven runs in the bottom of the sixth. Alyssa Kelly earned her eighth win of the season as she pitched 6.0 innings, surrendering three hits and one run, while recording two strikeouts.
