Cal State Dominguez Hills' Marquez Named Wilson CCAA Baseball Player of Week
April 9, 2007

WALNUT CREEK — Cal State Dominguez Hills outfielder Mateo Marquez (Biggs, CA/Cal State L.A.) has been named Wilson California Collegiate Athletic Association Baseball Player of the Week for the week of April 2-8.

Marquez, a senior from Biggs, proved to be a thorn in the side of the Broncos as the Toros took 3-of-4 games from conference foe Cal Poly Pomona last weekend, giving CSUDH's first series win of the year. He batted .412 with seven hits (7-for-17) with three multi-hit and two multi-RBI games. He belted two home runs with three doubles for a slugging percentage of .941 while posting an on-base percentage of .444.

The leadoff hitter went 2-for-4 and drove in two runs in Thursday's series opener. After going 1-for-3 through the first six innings, the Toros centerfielder went yard with a two-run homer in the eighth to help CSUDH extend its lead before winning 11-4. In game two of the series in Carson on Friday, Marquez went 3-for-5 with a pair of doubles to set the table for the Toros in the team's 8-7 win. Then, he would go 4-for-5 with a grand slam home run in Saturday's game one of the doubleheader in Pomona in leading CSUDH to a 7-6 win.
