The Virginia softball team split a doubleheader against Campbell yesterday at The Park. After falling 3-2 in the first game, Cav senior Chrissy Quinn tossed a three-hit shutout in a 5-0 Cavalier victory.
Quinn allowed three singles, struck out 10 and walked only one to earn her seventh victory. Sophomore first baseman Kristen Dennis led Virginia (19-33) offensively in the second game, going 3-for-3 with a three-run homer and a double. Freshman shortstop Johanna Kaiser went 2-for-3 with two RBIs against the Fighting Camels.
In the first game, Campbell (17-27) jumped out to an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Freshman catcher Shannon O'Bryan and sophomores right fielder Leslie Standiford and first baseman Tiffany Moyer had consecutive two-out RBI hits to put the Fighting Camels on top.
