Rutgers-Camden Athletics

Sophomore left fielder Joe Brooks had a stellar week for the Rutgers-Camden baseball team, hitting .733 (11-for-15) with seven runs and four RBIs while leading the Scarlet Raptors to a 3-1 record in their four games. Brooks had an .867 slugging percentage and an .800 on-base percentage. His huge week raised his average from .331 to .367 and was capped by a 5-for-5 performance in Saturday’s 12-5 win over York (PA) College. Brooks’ five hits were one shy of the single-game program record and raised his team-leading total to 22 multi-hit games this season. Even more impressive is the fact that his five hits pushed his season total to 62, making him the first player in program history to have more than one 60-hit season. He had 67 hits last year as a freshman.
