Brandon Alamo (Artesia, Calif.) also chipped in a three-hit performance for the Seawolves.
SENK'S REACTION
"You will have a very difficult time winning anytime when you strike out, walk hitters and make as many errors as we did tonight. All the credit goes to SELU for making us pay for those shortcomings. We are looking forward to tomorrow's game and giving ourselves a better chance to win"
