Senior Day

Fan Appreciation Day

Senior Day festivities will begin shortly after 1:30 on Saturday, as the Camels take the time to recognize eight seniors from this year's team. Also on Saturday, there will be multiple raffle giveaways throughout the game as the team shows appreciation for the support they received throughout this year. Tickets for all sections on Saturday cost seven dollars.

The Camels bounced back with a series win over Monmouth this weekend, winning the second and third games. Reed Stallman hit two solo home runs in Sunday's game, and Zach Sabers and Nate Brittain each recorded a win.

Series History

The teams have faced off 19 times since 1978, and Campbell has won seven of those matchups. The Tribe is on a four-game winning streak in the series.

Know Your Opponent

William & Mary currently sit in fifth place in the CAA standings with three games remaining. They won their series against Towson last weekend with wins on Friday and Sunday.

Two batters, Ben Parker and Joe Delossantos, are batting over .300 on the year with over 190 at-bats. Each of them has over 10 home runs on the year, and they are leading the team in RBI and doubles.

The Tribe is third in the CAA in ERA at 4.45, but they are last in the conference in fielding percentage (.954). Nate Knowles leads the team with a 1.86 ERA in 67.2 innings. He's amassed 97 strikeouts, holding his opponents to a .172 average and just six extra-base hits the whole year.

Last Time Out

The Camels are coming off a series win on the road against Monmouth. They won the final game, 6-0, for their first shutout of the season. Tuesday's game against ECU was canceled due to inclement weather.

Century Club

The Camels have recorded 100+ doubles, home runs, stolen bases and HBPs in each of the past two seasons. They were the only team to accomplish this feat in either year.

Golden Spikes

Grant Knipp was named to the USA Baseball Golden Spikes Midseason Watch List.

Haire Wins 300

Head Coach Justin Haire won his 300th career game on Saturday, March 16 against Valparaiso. In just over 10 seasons, the Camels have averaged over 30 wins a year during his tenure.
