CHARLOTTE – Gardner-Webb senior Devin Campbell was named Choice Hotels Big South Conference Pitcher of the Week Monday by the league office.

Campbell, a 6-foot-4, 196-pound righty, had his second-straight strong start on the mound, keying Gardner-Webb's 12-2 win over UNC Asheville last Friday. The Greenville, S.C., native went 8.0 innings, fanned a career-high nine batters and walked just one while scattering six singles (two infield).

Campbell didn't allow an earned run in the outing and, after allowing a pair of hits in the top of the first, sat down 14 of the next 16 batters he faced – with the only two men reaching during that stretch doing so on infield hits.

The two-sport standout (quarterback/pitcher) was also named Big South Conference Player of the Week in football on October 27, 2008, after passing for 392 yards and three scores in a win over VMI. He finished his football career by passing for 5,614 yards and 39 touchdowns in four seasons with Gardner-Webb.

In his last two baseball starts, Campbell is 2-0 with a 2.25 ERA and 15 strikeouts (four walks) in 16.0 innings of work – and has limited opponents to a frigid .200 batting average during that stretch. He is 3-1 on the season with a 4.15 ERA, and ranks among the Big South's best in league games – boasting a 2-1 mark and a 3.80 ERA in three starts.

Gardner-Webb (20-15, 9-6 Big South) returns to action on Tuesday night at Furman.
