GULF SHORES, Ala. — In a wild afternoon and evening of softball, Campbellsville had to go extra innings to beat No. 9 Belhaven for the second time this year and then rattled out eight hits in beating (RV) Central Methodist at the Gulf Coast Invitational.

The wins evened the Lady Tigers' stay so far in south Alabama at 2-2 (9-4 overall) and CU plays Columbia College Sunday at 10 a.m. ET.

Campbellsville 7, Belhaven 6

In a wild nine-inning affair, Campbellsville had to come back twice to pin a second loss on the Blazers.

Neely Quint (4-1) had a one-hitter going through five innings and led Belhaven 3-0 before serving up a two-run home run to Ashlee Hitt in the sixth. Then the bottom fell out for the freshman.

Destiney Taul provided the offence that gave CU a 4-2 lead when she doubled in the bottom of the sixth and then scored on an error.

But Quint walked the leadoff batter in the top of the seventh and an error put two on with no outs. Eventually a run would score and Quint would load the bases allowing Belhaven the tying run on a passed ball and the go-ahead run on a bases-loaded single.

Brianna Scott knotted the score at 5-5 with a leadoff homer in the bottom of the seventh.

That's when Decker entered facing the international tiebreaker. That's when where the last person out becomes a runner at second. Eventually a ground out to Shelby Ray at second made it 6-5 Belhaven.

Coach Shannon Wathen chose to pinch run Zatoria Leavell at second and it paid off. Adrean Jordan sacrificed Leavell to third and Kendyl Ahrens sent her home with a single.

Decker coaxed a grounder to first, fanned a batter and a liner to third ended the top of the ninth.

With Shelby Ray running at second, Rebecca Miller bunted her to third and she scored on a throwing error to first.

Campbellsville 9, Central Methodist 2

Destiney Taul had the biggest game of her career, collecting three hits and two RBIs to lead CU's eight-hit attack.

Campbellsville led 3-0 in the fourth after Taul's double scored two run in the second along with a fourth-inning Markie Smith home run.

But Central Methodist added a couple of runs in the fifth before the Lady Tigers plated three more runs in the top of the sixth.

Haley Szpila's home run led the inning off and a single by Erin Benton and walk to Smith followed. Taul singled and a run scored on an error and another on Shelby Ray's sacrifice fly.

Campbellsville added three more in the seventh on successive one-out walks to Kristin Benton and Szpila. Two wild pitches later and K. Benton would score. Erin Benton reached on a free pass and Adrean Jordan's sac fly scored a run and Smith singled in another.

Victoria Decker (5-2) picked up her second win of the day on a four hitter with seven Ks and three walks. Decker did load the bases in the bottom of the seventh before striking out the last batter.
