The Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference (C2C) has announced its weekly awards following the 10th week of the 2026 baseball season.  Salisbury's Jay Newton picked up C2C Player of the Week honors, while the Sea Gulls Aidan Brinsfield received C2C Pitcher of the Week distinction.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Jay Newton, Salisbury

Salisbury junior Jay Newton slashed .833/.923/1.167 with a triple, RBI, three steals, and six runs scored, reaching base 12 times in 14 plate appearances as the Sea Gulls dispatched No. 5 Shenandoah, Neumann, and Mary Washington for the week. In Monday's upset over Shenandoah, he reached all five times up, finishing 3-for-3 with a triple, two HBPs, and two runs to lead Salisbury to a 6-3 dub. On Saturday against UMW, he swiped two bags and scored one of SU's 11 runs for the day.

PITCHER OF THE WEEK: Aidan Brinsfield, Salisbury

Salisbury junior Aidan Brinsfield tossed his third career complete game, a seven-inning gem in which he scattered one run on two hits with one walk and seven strikeouts in the Sea Gulls' 11-1 win over Mary Washington on Saturday. Brinsfield didn't allow a hit after the second inning and at one point retired 16 Eagles in a row.

PLAYER: Aaron Maxie, Christopher Newport; Connor Hassan, Mary Washington

PITCHER: Mitchell Mortensen, Christopher Newport

C2C HIGHLIGHTS

Christopher Newport's Aaron Maxie hit .750 this week with six hits in eight official at bats while also reaching on a walk and adding a sacrifice bunt for a .778 on-base percentage in 10 plate appearances. On Thursday, Maxie drove in a career-high six runs with his second career grand slam while adding an RBI double and RBI single in a perfect 3-for-3 day at the plate versus Regent. He also registered three hits in a 16-4 win at Roanoke, going 3-for-5 with an RBI. Maxie scored five times in the two games and also played impeccable defense at first base with 13 putouts in 13 chances… In a pair of games this past week, Mary Washington's Connor Hassan was a tough out. The junior went 4-for-7 with two home runs and five RBIs that included a walk and a stolen base. Against Mary Baldwin on Wednesday, Hassan went deep for the first time in the third inning with a solo homer, then followed it with a three-run homer in the fourth. On Saturday against No. 13 Salisbury, Hassan singled up the middle to drive in a run to give the Eagles an early 1-0 lead… Christopher Newport's Mitchell Mortensen started and earned the win in a bullpen game against Regent, tossing two no-hit innings against the Royals. He had one strike out and faced just one batter over the minimum. Mortensen improved to 5-0 overall this year with a 1.46 ERA in 13 appearances.
