The Panthers drop to 19-22 on the season, while Campbell improves to 16-25.

Both Mitch Williams and Mike Wineke hit their second home runs of the season for the Camels.

HPU jumped ahead 2-0 in the top of the 1st inning on a John Cavanaugh two-run blast.  Justin Keegan started the frame with a single to centerfield and scored on Cavanaugh's fifth home run of the season.

The Camels answered with four runs in the bottom of the inning, thanks to a trio of doubles to take a 4-2 lead.  Johnny Keelan started the home of the first with a one out double and scored on a Nic Carter single.  Derek Barrows plated Carter with a double of his own to tie the game 2-2.  Sal Deanda followed driving home Barrows with a double and eventually scored the final run of the inning on a Williams' single.

The Panthers cut the lead to 4-3 in the top of the second when Chris Vinar reached on a Barrows' throwing error, stole third and scored on a Keegan groundout.

HPU tied the game 4-4 in the top of the third when Andy Harney singled, moved to third on a Ryan Thiede double and scored on a Ken Keesee sac fly.
