Gillen Joachim's walk-off sacrifice fly kept Campbell's season alive Wednesday night at Brookwood, splitting a doubleheader to force a Game 3 in their first-round playoff series.

Brookwood had clawed back to 4-4 after falling behind 4-0 and finally getting its first hit on a Charlie Foster single in the top of the sixth. After two hit batters, Trey Clark cleared the bases on a double and scored on an error to tie it up.

But two Campbell singles and a Brookwood error in the bottom of the seventh set up Joachim's winning hit, driving in Kaden Baio to set off the "home" celebration.

Campbell starter Ryan Gold had retired 16 straight batters before running into trouble in the sixth.

Game 1 was all Brookwood, with the Broncos cruising to a 9-1 win behind a solid start from Jonathan Jaime, who also helped himself with a two-run double.

No. 2-seeded Brookwood hosts No. 3-seeded Campbell at 6 tonight with the winner advancing to the Class 7A second round.
