Rutgers-Camden Athletics

Junior second baseman Chris Jones had a big week to spark the Rutgers-Camden baseball team to a 4-1 record and the third seed in the upcoming New Jersey Athletic Conference playoffs. Jones hit .476 (10-for-21) with seven runs, seven RBIs and one double, while extending his hitting streak to 11 games (20-for-49, .408). He collected three multi-hit games out of his five contests during the week. In a win over Kean University April 26, he went 1-for-4 with one run and three RBIs, while tying the program’s single-game record with 10 assists. In another win over Kean on Sunday, he went 4-for-5 with three runs and three RBIs. The four singles in that game raised his career mark to 202 total bases, becoming only the 11th player in program history to reach that milestone and jumping past Mike Morris (200 total bases from 2004-07) into 10th place on the program’s all-time list. He is hitting .340 this season and in 107 career games, all starts, he owns a .344 batting average, is seventh on the all-time list with 90 RBIs and is tied for seventh with 156 hits.
