IN THE HOLE... The Otters now sport an 11-7 overall record and are 7-4 in nonconference games this season
THE LAST WORD... "Alvarado was the lone bright spot in a game in which we didn't play very well. We made errors in crucial spots, we walked far too many people, and we didn't take the bat off our shoulders when we had opportunities to score. We are very disappointed i our effort this evening and we will need to play much better moving forward."
-Head Coach Walt White
THEY'VE GOT NEXT... The Otters will head to UC San Diego for a big time 3-game series against the eighth-ranked Tritons. First pitch of Saturday's doubleheader is set for 1:00 p.m.
GO OTTERS!
