The Coast-To-Coast Athletic Conference (C2C) has announced its weekly awards following the eighth week of the 2026 baseball season.  Mary Washington's Oliver Martin took home C2C Player of the Week honors, while the Eagles Matthew Boyd captured C2C Pitcher of the Week distinction.

PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Oliver Martin, Mary Washington

Mary Washington junior Oliver Martin went 5-for-12 (.417) at the plate in three victories this past week, drawing one walk and stealing four bases in the process. In a victory over No. 10 Bridgewater, Martin drove in the first run of the ballgame on a ground ball before singling later. And against Juniata this weekend, Martin went 4-for-9 with an RBI, a walk, while stealing three bases. He nabbed two-of-three would-be base stealers as well from behind the plate.

PITCHER OF THE WEEK: Matthew Boyd, Mary Washington

Mary Washington senior Matthew Boyd tossed eight innings of shutout baseball, blanking No. 10 Bridgewater to clinch the Eagles' third upset over a top-10 foe this season in his lone start of the week. Boyd struck out four, carrying a no-hitter into the seventh inning (the second time he's done that this season), and pitched into the ninth inning. He yielded just three hits and a walk in what was arguably the most dominant start of his career.

C2C HIGHLIGHTS

Salisbury's Trent Waire slashed .364/.417/.727 with a double, homer, two runs, two steals, and eight RBIs as part of the Sea Gulls' 2-1 week. On Tuesday against Marymount (Va.) he belted a first-inning grand slam to kick off a five-RBI day… Christopher Newport's Sam Benedict hit a team-high .538 (7-13) this week to help the nationally-ranked Captains pick up a pair of wins in three games. He reached base nine times in 16 plate appearances for a .563 on-base percentage including reaching base five times in six plate appearances against Randolph-Macon. He logged two multi-hit performances, going 3-for-4 both against NC Wesleyan and Randolph-Macon. He extended his hitting streak to a team-high nine games with a base hit in a win at nationally-ranked Salisbury… Salisbury's Aidan Brinsfield matched a career-long with eight innings on the hill to beat Marymount (Va.) on Tuesday. Brinsfield allowed just two runs (one earned) on four hits with no walks and three strikeouts… Christopher Newport's Jackson Baird tossed seven shutout innings against a top-ten opponent in Salisbury to give the Captains a key win against a conference opponent. He struck out nine batters and scattered six hits over seven scoreless. Baird held onto a slim 2-0 lead through the first seven innings of the game, including a run of six straight outs by strikeout in the second and third innings. He improved to 4-2 overall with a 2.44 ERA in eight starts this season while striking out 55 batters in 44.1 innings pitched.
