Tyler Madrid is a big man with the power to do big things for the Chico State baseball team. He did just that this weekend in the Wildcats' three-game sweep at Cal State Stanislaus. He did the little things as well, however, and the combination has netted the hulking senior first baseman Wildcat of the Week honors.
Â
Madrid went 4-for-11 with a home run, two runs, and two RBI over the weekend. The senior from Garden Grove hit .364 with a .533 on-base percentage and slugged .727.
Â
He smashed a solo home run, walked three times, and scored twice in a 5-1 victory Friday. He drove in a run with a double and drew a walk in Saturday's 5-4 win in 11 innings.
Â
And he fought back from down 0-2, fouling off numerous pitches, before a passed ball allowed the winning run to score during his at-bat in the 11th. Madrid was 2-for-4 in the Wildcats' 5-3 win in Saturday's nightcap.
Â
Madrid and the Wildcats will be back in action this weekend for a four-game series against Sonoma State, culminating in the Capital City Clash at Raley Field in Sacramento Sunday at 1 p.m.
