Eda, a senior from Palos Verdes, led the Toros to a 2-1 series win over crosstown rival Cal State L.A. last week. He hit .636 (7 for 11) at the plate with three home runs, three doubles, six RBI and an amazing 1.727 slugging percentage over the three-game stretch.

In the opening game against the Golden Eagles last Friday, Eda went 2-for-3 with three RBI and a run scored in the leadoff spot while hitting his third homer of the season in a 9-4 loss.

In game one of the twinbill on Saturday, Eda paced the 11-hit Toro attack in the 8-3 win going 3-for-4 with two runs batted in and two runs scored. All three hits were for extra bases, two doubles and a home run, his fourth of the season, a 2-run shot.

In game two, Eda collected two more hits going 2-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI. His home run, the third is as many games and fifth of the season, was a solo shot in the first which tied the game, 1-1.

The honor marks the first for the senior during his two-plus seasons at CSUDH after transferring from Los Angeles Harbor Junior College.
