Campbell continued its winning streak with a 5-4 win over visiting Pearl City Tuesday afternoon in an Oahu Interscholastic Association Division I-West contest.

The Sabers, ranked second in the ScoringLive/Hawaiian Electric Softball Power Rankings, picked up their third straight win to improve to 3-1 atop the conference standings.

Pearl City scored a run in the top of the first stanza, but Campbell's Aleisa Ranches smashed a two-run homer in the bottom of the frame to give Campbell the lead.

The third-ranked Chargers tied things up in the fourth, but the Sabers came right back with three more runs to take a 5-2 advantage.

The visitors added a pair of runs in the sixth inning before seeing their rally cut short as they dropped to 2-2 in OIA D1-West play.

Chloe Sales earned the win in the circle for the Sabers while Maiyah Faleafine-Lesu took the loss for Pearl City.
