Joey Morton Repeats as Coastal Athletic Association Player of the Week

Redshirt senior’s hot streak powers Campbell’s sweep and sets the stage for the CAA Tournament

A Week to Remember

Morton, a redshirt senior outfielder for Campbell University, was selected as the Coastal Athletic Association Player of the Week for the second time this season after delivering a .538 batting average over a three‑game sweep at UNCW. He launched four home runs, drove in eight runs, and added a double while scoring six times, underscoring his all‑around impact.

The Camels’ offense clicked in each contest, with Morton’s timely hits turning close games into comfortable victories. His eight‑RBI performance on Thursday matched a career high, and his consistency helped the team post a 16‑12 win that highlighted the squad’s depth.

Beyond the single week, Morton sits atop the CAA leaderboards with 71 runs batted in and 20 home runs, numbers that have kept the Camels competitive throughout the campaign. The weekly award brings the program’s total weekly recognitions to eleven this season, reflecting a sustained level of excellence.

Looking Ahead to the Tournament

Campbell will open the CAA Tournament on Thursday at 3 p.m. at Brooks Field in Wilmington, North Carolina. The game, streamed live on FloCollege, will determine the Camels’ first opponent in the bracket play, adding another layer of excitement to an already electric season.
