SPOKANE, Wash. - The Gonzaga University baseball program continued to bolster its 2005 roster as Bulldogs head coach Mark Machtolf announced the signing of two new players for next season. Scott Campbell and Matt Fields each signed national letters of intent with Gonzaga.

Campbell comes to Gonzaga after one successful season at Central Arizona College where the left-handed hitting second baseman earned NCJAA All-American honors with a .423 average, 8 doubles and 10 stolen bases. A native of Auckland, New Zealand, Campbell was also a first-team All-Region I selection while leading his team to the Region I Championship and a runner-up finish at the NCJAA Western District championships.

Fields enters Gonzaga after a standout high school career at Lake Stevens (WA) High where he was named the All-Wesco Player of the Year following his senior season. A right-handed pitcher and shortstop at LSHS, Fields compiled an 8-1 record with 80 strikeouts during his senior year. During the Idaho/Oregon/Washington All-Star series Fields was named the offensive MVP.

Campbell and Fields will join the following players who signed with Gonzaga during the fall; Darin Holcomb (Shadle Park HS), Dan Ramsey (Mead HS), Jay Bryner (Bellevue CC), Brian Ouelette (Kamiak HS), Shawn Wayt (Westview HS) and Matthew Wickswat (Issaquah HS).
