MACON, Ga. - Campbell's Amanda Littlejohn went deep twice in game two of the Camels' doubleheader with UNF, sparking a 6-5 victory and resulting in Littlejohn's first Atlantic Sun Player of the Week honor. Erica Demers of Stetson didn't allow a run in 10 innings of work in claiming her first A-Sun Pitcher of the Week award, the conference office announced on Monday.

A sophomore catcher out of Lake Elsinore, Calif., Littlejohn drove in five runs in the doubleheader with UNF, three more than the rest of the team combined. Her five-RBI performance increased her season total to 64, setting a single-season record at Campbell. Shannon O'Bryan held the previous mark of 61 in the 2001 season. The elementary education major hit .667 throughout the series, slugged 1.667 and scored a pair of runs.

Demers, a junior communication studies major, accomplished what no other hurler in the conference could when she fired a complete-game shutout against Florida Gulf Coast, the highest scoring team in A-Sun history. Demers gave up only three hits to the Eagles in the first game of Tuesday's doubleheader, a 1-0 Hatter triumph. The shutout propelled Demers' career total to 31, the most by a Stetson pitcher and the third-most in the A-Sun. The Miami, Fla. native earned her second win in a three-inning relief appearance in the regular season finale against Florida Atlantic on Sunday. For the week, Demers tallied five strikeouts and held opposing batters to a .152 average.
