Campbell, enjoying his professional All-Star Game, went 2-for-3 and was named Most Valuable Player. Facing Hector Nelo of the Harrisburg Senators with runners on second and third, Campbell grounded a 3-1 pitch into left field, bringing home Reading Phillies shortstop Troy Hanzawa to secure the walk-off win. The hit capped a terrific night for the Connecticut native who entered as a pinch-hitter in the fifth inning and doubled to center.
He scored later in the inning on a pinch-hit sac fly by fellow B-Met Jefry Marte. Marte, also experiencing his first professional All-Star Game, followed his sacrifice fly with a single in the eighth inning. He recorded one putout in the game at third base. Reliever Armando Rodriguez entered with the score tied in the seventh and worked a quick inning. He struck out Chris Rahl, induced Robbie Widlansky to fly out, walked Buck Britton and fanned Eury Perez in a scoreless frame.
New Britain Rock Cats righty Daniel Turpen earned the win by getting the final out in the top of the ninth inning. Nelo suffered the loss. Campbell, Marte, Rodriguez and the rest of the B-Mets (41-47) get back into action to start a five-game series against the Erie SeaWolves at NYSEG Stadium on Thursday night at 6:35 PM. The Horizons Federal Credit Union pre-game show begins at 6:20 PM on Newsradio 1290 WNBF.
