Barber shared the honor with Houston All-American Brad Sullivan who struck out 12 in 10 scoreless innings against East Carolina.
Bojorquez, who earned the honor on May 6th last season, hit 8 for 16 with two doubles, two home runs and 10 RBI in four games. He walked twice and handled 25 chances in the field without an error.
The senior from Miami, Florida was 3 for 5 with five RBI in the Cards win over Memphis Saturday and 6 for 11 with seven RBI for the three game series. He leads the team with 16 RBI, starting all 17 games.
Louisville will host Evansville Tuesday at 3:00 p.m. at Cardinal Stadium and face C-USA leader Southern Miss for a three-game weekend series beginning Friday.
