Campbellsville run-ruled Spring Hill in the first game of bracket play in the Gulf Coast Softball Invitational, but could have used some of those runs in a 3-2 loss to Freed-Hardeman that eliminated them for the tournament. The split gives CU an 11-11 record.

In game one, the Tigers pounded out 13 hits headlined by Emma Napier's two 2-run home runs.

Campbellsville led 1-0 after the first inning when Alex Jane Clemmons' single plated Napier, who had singled earlier.



But in the second frame the Tigers really took control, plating seven runs off six hits and two Spring Hill errors. Napier's first homer was followed by a two-run shot by Bailey Dillender. Morgan Bullock had an RBI-double and Allison Horton knocked in two runs with a safety.

The Tigers scored two runs each in the third and fourth before the 10-run rule was implemented. In the fourth Napier connected on her second two-run homer.

In all, eight players got in on the 13-hit attack. Napier was 3-4 with four RBI and two runs, Kacie Vincent was 1-3 with two runs, Dillender 2-4 with two RBI and two runs, Jennifer England 1-4 with one RBI and two runs, Clemmons 2-3 with an RBI, Bullock 2-3 and an RBI, Horton 1-3 with two RBI and Jordan Cornett 1-2 and scoring twice.

Cassidy Kroeker picked up the win, allowing only one hit in five innings.

In game two, Campbellsville could not overcome a three-run first inning by Freed-Hardeman, the team that gave CU it's first loss (2-0) in pool play.

England (second) and Dillender (sixth) each had solo home runs in the game. Four other players managed to reach base safely, led by Napier's double and singles by Bullock, Horton and Clemmons.

Horton took the loss with a six-hitter, She walked one and fanned four.

Campbellsville will open Mid-South play on Wednesday when it hosts Lindsey Wilson in a 2 p.m. double header.
