WALNUT CREEK, Calif. – David Armendariz of the Cal Poly Pomona baseball team earned California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Player of the Week honors for the week of Feb. 3 through Feb. 9, conference officials announced Monday.

Armendariz, a junior leftfielder from Granada Hills, played a key role in the Broncos' 4-0 record last week as CPP completed a sweep of Point Loma Nazarene on Monday before taking a three-game set from Dixie State through Homecoming and Family Weekend.

A transfer from Cal Poly SLO, Armendariz proved to be a sparkplug for the Broncos' offense this past week as he went 7-for-17 at the plate with five runs and six runs batted in. 

On Monday in the 7-6 walk-off win over PLNU, Armendariz singled in the game-tying run in the bottom of the ninth inning and he finished that game with three RBI. Then on Friday in the series opener against Dixie State, he scored the go-ahead run in a close 3-1 victory over the Red Storm.

Armendariz collected a season-high three hits on Saturday as the Broncos cruised to a 12-0 win over DSC. In that game, Armendariz reached base in four of his five plate appearances.

And on Sunday, he posted a 2-for-4 effort offensively and launched a two-run homer that gave CPP a 5-3 lead early in the game. Although the Red Storm ended up tying the game at 5-5 in the ninth, the Broncos bounced back for another walk-off win in the 10th inning.

Armendariz and the Broncos will open conference play Friday as they'll start a four-game series with defending CCAA champion Cal State Monterey Bay. CPP holds a record of 6-0 so far this season, including a 4-0 mark in one-run games.
