The 1976 Baseball Team
 
Paving the way for success, the 1976 baseball team became the first team in Cal Poly Pomona history to claim a national championship. Under the leadership of legendary coach and current CPP Hall of Fame member John Scolinos, the Broncos amassed a 40-27-1 overall record, going 11-7 in conference play to win the CCAA title.
 
The Broncos went on to win the West Region before defeating Southern Illinois University – Edwardsville to earn the school's first national title at the tournament site in Springfield, Illinois.
 
The 1976 team featured eight CCAA All-Conference members while Scolinos was named the CCAA Coach of the Year and CPP's Dennis Sherow was named Player of the Year. The Broncos tallied four NCAA Division II All-Americans as well.
 
In addition to the team accomplishments, four players were drafted including Jim Pryor, San Francisco Giants; Dennis Sherow, Montreal Expos; Bruce MacPherson, Minnesota Twins and Ken Hellyer, Minnesota Twins.
