NCAA Championships: Live Video | Bracket

CARY, N.C. - In helping Cal Poly Pomona reach the NCAA Division II Championships in Cary for the second-consecutive year, junior righthander Michael Koval has received All-American honors as one of the top pitchers in the country.

This marks the third-straight year that a CPP baseball student-athlete has earned the accolade, including a total of six honorees in the six years of head coach Randy Betten's tenure. Koval is the 29th All-American in the history of the Broncos' baseball program.

An Alta Loma native, Koval leads the California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) in earned run average (1.91) and ranks second in wins with nine. He has allowed just five extra base hits, all of which were doubles. Through 2016, Koval owns a 9-3 record in 89.1 innings pitched. He has struck out 65 hitters.

In early May, Koval was selected as the CCAA Pitcher of the Year. Last week in the opening game of the West Regional, Koval tossed 7.1 shutout innings as the Broncos went on to defeat Chico State 11-1 in that game.

Koval's honor comes from the NCAA Division II Conference Commissioner's Association (CCA) and the entire All-America team is featured here. The CCA encourages and promotes Division II athletics and high standards of sportsmanship as important elements of higher education.

CPP will starts the D-II World Series action on Saturday against Southern Indiana. First pitch has been moved to 10:30 a.m. Pacific (1:30 p.m. Eastern). All of the games will be featured in NCAA.com/liveschedule broadcasts.
