NORTH LITTLE ROCK — It was a call Isaiah Campbell waited three years for.
Campbell was promoted to the Seattle Mariners’ Class AA affiliate Arkansas Travelers on Monday.
Campbell, a member of the University of Arkansas baseball team from 2016-19, was previously with High-A Everett.
AquaSox pitching coach Matt Pierpont called Campbell on Monday morning to inform him that he’d been promoted and would be going back to the Natural State.
“It’s not the university, but I mean [I’m] back in Arkansas,” Campbell said. “Four years of my best memories were in this state. It’s great to be back.
