ROCK HILL, SC— Winthrop softball dropped both games of a doubleheader with losses of 10-6 and 9-2 to visiting Campbell, Saturday afternoon at Terry Field.

The Eagles are now 20-20 overall and 6-5 in the Big South while Campbell improves to 23-20 overall and 8-4 in the league. Winthrop will step away from Big South play when it hosts Furman on Tuesday, Apr. 11 in a doubleheader starting at 4 p.m.

"I felt like they just out hit us again and our defense was soft," said Winthrop co-head coach Mark Cooke. "We gave them too many easy runs. Take nothing away from them they hit the ball hard but we had a lot of miscues defensively that hurt us. Campbell's a good hitting team, it's clear why they're leading the conference in hitting. They hit the ball good, had good pitching and we just didn't answer the call today. We have to regroup and get over it."

In the first game of the day, Campbell pushed four across in the fourth courtesy of some fielding miscues by the Eagles. With runners at second and third and one out, Megan Mozingto singled to right but the ball got past Shayna Covington allowing both runs to score on the play and Mozingo to get to third. Then Taesha DuBoise layed down a bunt for a single and moved to second as nobody covered the bag. The next two runs came on a ground out and a bunt single.

Amber Schisler made it 5-0 in the fifth inning as she took the first pitch over the fence in center for her 12^th of the season.

After cutting into the lead with a run in the fifth as Paige Haley drove home Tara Loken at third on a ground out. However, Campbell added five runs in the top of the sixth highlighted by a two-run triple from Madison Herring to right and a two-run single by Melissa Tullar to center.

The Eagles tried to chip away at the lead as they scored five runs over the final two innings. Leah Young provided an RBI double followed by a two-run home run by Madyson Watson, the first of her career. Winthrop added two more runs in the seventh as Maddie Antone hit a two-run homer to left center. That was Antone's fourth home run of the season and 18^th of her career.

Keleigh Romine suffered the loss in the circle after allowing five runs on five hits with three walks and two strikeouts in five innings and is now 3-5 on the year.

In the second game the Camels jumped out to a 4-0 lead with three runs in the first and another in the second. That lead grew to 7-0 in the fourth before the Eagles dug into deficit with two runs in the fifth. Antone drove in the first run with an RBI single and then Ashley Westbrooks drove home Haley with an RBI single to center. Young reached on an error to load the bases with two outs and Watson hammered a shot to left, but right at the left fielder for the third out.
