Dallas College Eastfield's Angel Rodriguez and Jacob Prokarym have been named the Dallas Athletic Conference Baseball Players of the Week. Rodriguez was selected as the league's Offensive Player of the Week, while Prokarym was named the DAC Pitcher of the Week.

A sophomore first baseman from Tyler, Texas, Rodriguez batted .714, going 10-for-14 in four games last week. He had three home runs, a double, 12 runs batted in, eight runs scored and three walks.

He had multiple hits in all four games, including three in a pair of contests in the three-game series with Dallas College Cedar Valley. He also drove in at least one run in all four games.

This marks the second time this season Rodriguez has been chosen as the DAC Offensive Player of the Week. He is batting a team-leading .487 with eight home runs, nine doubles, a triple and 38 RBI this season.

A freshman left-handed pitcher from Plano, Texas, Prokarym tossed a complete game shutout in a 15-0 victory over Cedar Valley. He allowed two hits and two walks, while fanning five and not surrendering a run in seven innings.
