Broncos Brehm earns CCAA weekly honor

Cal Poly Pomona designated hitter/catcher Chris Brehm was named the Wilson California Collegiate Athletic Association player of the week Monday for the week of April 7-13. He is the first Bronco player to earn the honor this season.

            Brehm, a Murrieta native, played a key role in helping Cal Poly Pomona win a four-game series from Cal State Monterey Bay last weekend. The junior batted .647 (11-for-17) with seven runs scored and seven RBI, while totaling seven extra-base hits. He had multiple hits in all four contests and concluded the series with a 4-for-5 effort that included three doubles, three runs scored and an RBI. He opened the series with three hits, including a grand slam, on Friday.

            He leads the team in batting average at .415 that is second in the CCAA. He has played in 31 games and owns 30 starts for the Broncos, who are 10-25 overall and 7-15 in the CCAA. Incidentally, the 11-4 victory Sunday marked coach Mike Ashman’s 300^th victory while at Cal Poly Pomona.

            The Broncos return to play this weekend with a four-game series against visiting San Francisco State. The series starts Friday with a 2:30 p.m. start at Scolinos Field.
