With the win the Camels even their record to 2-2, while the Pirates drop to 3-1.

    Campbell jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first and never looked back. Waldy Arias singled to left field to start the game then moved to over to second on a Collin Wolfe fly ball to right field and third on Spencer Packard's ground out to first. Williams plated his first run of the contest singling home Arias with a shot down the left field line for the early lead.

    Adams (1-0) picked up the win allowing just one hit over four frames with three walks and a career-high six punch outs. John Vanderploeg worked a scoreless fifth inning giving up a hit and striking out one. Fred Sisco was touched for two runs (both earned) on three hits with four strikeouts in three innings, while Jack Yusko got the final three outs with the bases loaded in the ninth.

    A double steal by Skundrich (home) and Collin Wolfe (second) gave way to another Camel run extending the lead to 4-0. Skundrich led off with a single to left field and took third on a Mayhue failed pickoff before crossing home on the steal.
