SAN MARCOS, Calif. – Cal State San Marcos baseball's Zech Samayoa has been named the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) Division II West Region Player of the Week for the second time this season.

In the Cougars' three wins over Cal State LA, the senior became Cal State San Marcos' new single-season record holder for runs batted in with 59 while tying the team's single-season record for home runs with 18. He did all this while leading CSUSM with a .588 batting average (10-for-17), three doubles, three home runs, 10 RBI and nine runs scored. He posted a .632 on-base percentage and a 1.294 slugging percentage in the series win. 

Breaking Ray Patchen's 2015 record of 56 RBIs with a three-run homer in his final home at-bat at Dennis A. Pugh Field, Samayoa also tied Austin Way's 2008 home run record of 18. 

Samayoa ranks sixth in NCAA Division II with an .882 slugging percentage and fifth with 0.44 home runs per game.

Samayoa earned the award this year on March 31, and he's now the first Cougar to earn it twice in program history.

In their final regular-season series, Samayoa and the Cougars will travel to Cal Poly Pomona with the four-game set beginning on Thursday at 6 p.m.
