Borchers Named Wilson/CCAA Baseball Pitcher of Week Honors
April 24, 2006

Carson, CA – Senior Chris Borchers (Torrance, CA/LA Harbor College) has been named the Wilson California Collegiate Athletic Association Baseball Pitcher of the Week for the week of April 17-23, it was announced this afternoon by the CCAA Office.

Borchers, a 6-3 right-hander from Torrance, put forth a pair of outstanding efforts that enabled the Toros to win 3 of 5 CCAA Conference games and stay in the hunt for a league tournament berth.

Borchers opened the week with a hard-luck no-decision, as he limited Cal State San Bernardino to 2 runs on 4 hits while striking out seven against one walk in seven innings of work.

Five days later, Borchers fired a 3-hit, 7-inning complete game gem at UC San Diego that gave the Toros a 3-to-1 series victory against the Tritons. The right-hander limited the Tritons offense to just 1 run on 3 hits and struck out 8 as CSUDH prevailed, 6-1.

For the week, Borchers went 1-0 with a no-decision. He allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, 4 walks and 1 hit batsman while striking out 15 batters over 14 innings pitched. Opponents hit just .159 against Borchers, who posted a 1.93 earned run average and a 3.75 strikeouts-to-walks ratio over the two contests.

The Toros travel to Cal State Monterey Bay this Friday for game one of a four-game set, before returning home on Saturday, May 6, to conclude their 2006 regular season and honor the eight seniors on the 2006 CSUDH team.
