Gamble hitting .444 since 1-for-20 start, Hauff has 42
 strikeouts in 32 innings pitched this season

 GREENSBORO, N.C., March 21, 2006 – Charlie Gamble and Michael Hauff didn’t start the 2006 season particularly well, but both men appear in midseason form at this point.

 Gamble, a 6-foot-6 junior third baseman out of Pleasant Garden, N.C., was named MEAC Baseball Payer of the Week as he helped the Aggies go 4-2 from March 13-19. Hauff, a 6-foot-1 right-handed pitcher out of Asheboro, N.C., was named MEAC Pitcher of the Week for his performance against the University of Alabama-Birmingham over the weekend.

Gamble batted .360 during the week (9-for-25) with two doubles, two triples and five RBI. Gamble’s 2-run RBI double against Appalachian State helped the Aggies down the Mountaineers 3-2 on Wednesday. His double against UAB helped the Aggies secure a 6-5 win over the Blazers on Saturday.

 In the Aggies first five games, Gamble wasn’t as hot. He started the season in a 1-for-20 slump. But since that point he has hit safely in 16 out of the Aggies last 17 games. During that stretch, he put together a 12-game hitting streak.

 Gamble is hitting .359 with one home run, nine doubles and 19 RBI. The Aggies are 10-12 this season and 6-3 in their last nine games.

 Hauff, last season’s MEAC Pitcher of the Year, also had a rough start. In the Aggies season opener against Cincinnati, Hauff was replaced after surrendering nine runs – six of them earned – in 2.1 innings. He has been outstanding ever since. Against UAB, he pitched a complete-game five-hitter and struck out 15 batters.

 In his previous start against Savannah State, Hauff pitched a complete-game four hitter and struck out 11. He came in as a closer against a strong Charlotte University team and retired the 49ers in order to earn the save in a 3-2 win.

 Hauff has 323 career strikeouts and 18 career wins as an Aggie. He is 2-0 this season with 42 strikeouts and a 2.53 ERA.
