Smith delivers walkoff; Quint picks up win and a save in doubleheader sweep over Georgetown

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — Alexis Smith turned on a 2-2 fast ball and sealed Campbellsville's walk off 1-0 victory in game one, and Georgetown fell victim to an illegal substitution helping the Lady Tigers sweep the season series with a 6-5 win in game two. 
 
The Lady Tigers improve their record to 36-5 on the season and now 18-2 inside the Mid-South Conference. No. 4 Campbellsville is now four wins away from possibly clinching the regular season title with eight games left. 
 
Neely Quint improved to 23-0 with a win in game one, tossing another complete-game shutout and striking out four. Quint lowered her MSC-leading ERA to 1.22. In addition, she picked up her second save of the season in game two – a four-out save. 
 
Morgan Gailor battled in the circle to improve her record to 12-5. Gailor allowed five runs on seven hits, while striking out two in her 130-pitch performance. 
 
Offensively, the Lady Tigers were led by Jacqueline Roof's 5-for-6 day. Roof went 2-for-3 in the opening game but was stranded each time. In game two, she tallied two singles, a three-run homer in the second, and drove in four runs. In conference play, Roof is hitting .477 this season. 
 
Alexis Smith and Tori Humphrey also had homers on the day – both solo shots – to lead CU with nine #RoundTrippers each. Smith pushed her team-lead 44 RBI after the walk-off in game one.  

CU returns to the diamond on Friday and Saturday for Senior Weekend. The Lady Tigers host Shawnee State University on Friday at 2 p.m. ET and Saturday at Noon ET. Senior Day will begin at 11:30 a.m. ET on Saturday morning. 
 
Game one: Campbellsville 1, Georgetown 0
 
It was an old-fashioned pitcher's duel in the opener, as Neely Quint and Hannah Morton (14-5_ battled through game one in one hour and 12 minutes. 
 
Georgetown out-hit CU in the opener, 5-3, and the Tigers had a big opportunity in the fifth to score a couple runs. GC worked the bases loaded with two outs after an infield single, hit-by-pitch and walk but Quint worked Corrin Robinson into a ground out to Dana Adkins at second base for the rally killer. 
 
GC also had runner on base in the first, third, fourth and sixth inning but Quint stranded them all. 
 
The defense stepped up once again today. The biggest play of the day came in the seventh. Alexis Arnold picked up a one-out single, but Katie Young grounded into a 4-3 double play. Adkins, played in her 12-straight game, fielded a grounder, tagged Arnold between first and second and completed the double play by flipping to Alexis Smith at first base. 
 
Alexis Smith lit the fireworks in the bottom of the seventh. She turned on a 2-2 fastball and hit a no-doubter into the Jetstream over the left-centerfield fence for the win – CU's fifth walk-off of the year. 
 
Game two: Campbellsville 6, Georgetown 5
 
Game two was the exact opposite of game one. The two-hour performance saw both teams combined for 17 hits and 11 runs, but Campbellsville came out on top. 
 
Georgetown took its first lead of the season over CU after a solo home run by Alli Watson in the second. But CU's offense picked up Morgan Gailor in the circle with a four-spot in the home-half of the second. 
 
Ryley Whitney led off the inning with a single and moved to third after a sacrifice bunt and ground ball to the right side. Adkins then stepped up to deliver the first of two hits on the day – an RBI single to right field to tie it at one. Georgetown committed an error and allowed Ryleigh Oldham to reach to put runners on first and second before Roof put CU ahead 4-1 with her seventh home run of the season. 

The Lady Tigers chased Megan Brankamp out of the game after tossing just two-plus innings and the four runs – three unearned. 
 
Many times this season, after the Lady Tigers have a big inning, the opposing teams are able to answer right back. Not today. Gailor sat Georgetown down 1-2-3 in the third and Tori Humphrey parked a solo shot in the bottom-half to put CU ahead, 5-1. 
 
Georgetown did score two runs in the fourth and two in the sixth to finally get Gailor out of the game. All four runs, though, came with two outs. Alexis Arnold picked up an RBI single and Cassidy Janes delivered a double to score another run, but the defense stepped up again. On the Janes double, Brianna Scott teamed up with Roof on the relay home to gun down Arnold trying to score from first to end the GC rally. 
 
CU got a run back in the bottom of the fourth to push the lead back to three, 6-3. Adkins led off with a double and Roof scored her with a suicide squeeze. 
 
In the sixth, Katie Young hit a 2-2 fastball to the centerfield fence to score two more Georgetown runs with two outs. Quint replaced Gailor in the circle and allowed the go-ahead run to reach, as Chase Allgeier reached on an infield single, but Quint worked Robinson into a pop up to Roof at short to end the rally. 
 
In the seventh, things got a little interesting. A leadoff single by Kara Howard was followed with another single by Abigail James but she was eventually called out after an illegal substitution by Georgetown. James started the game on the bench, entered into the flex position and then Georgetown coach Thomas Thornton attempted to move James to the DP to let her hit for Skylar Houston, but the flex and DP are connected together in the lineup and cannot be swapped. 
 
So now with one out and Howard returning to first base after the illegal sub, Quint picked up a strikeout to Hannah Howes and Allie Watson grounded out to Adkins at second to seal the CU win.
