Camels Ready for Midweek Games

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – The Campbell University baseball team will face a pair of non-conference foes this week. The Camels (8-4, 1-4 A-Sun) will host Longwood in doubleheader action starting at 1 p.m. on Tuesday at Taylor Field.

Tuesday's home games will be the first for the Camels in nearly two weeks. In the last outing at Taylor Field, Campbell defeated UNC Greensboro by a score of 17-3.

The Camels and the Lancers have met just twice on the diamond. The series is split at one a piece, as both teams won on their home field. Longwood currently owns a 7-6 record this season.

Camels skipper Greg Goff said, "Longwood is a strong offense team and will be a challenge for our pitching staff. Coach Bolding has been there for 30-plus seasons, and I look forward to the opportunity to coach against a legend from the state of Virginia."

After Tuesday's doubleheader Campbell will face the Eagles of North Carolina Central on Wednesday. First pitch at the Durham Bulls Athletic Park is slated for 3 p.m.

The Camels and the Eagles met twice in 2008, with Campbell taking both games. North Carolina Central currently posts a 2-5 mark for 2009. The Camels and the Eagles will also meet in Buies Creek later this season.

Greg Goff had this to say about the matchup with the Eagles. "I am looking forward to the opportunity for our players to play at a minor league facility. We will have to piece together our pitching staff for the game on Wednesday. It will be a challenge, but I expect our players to continue the strong play."

After the trip to the DBAP, the Camels will return home for a conference series this weekend versus Mercer. First pitch on Friday is scheduled for 4 p.m.
