The Sea Kings created traffic on the bases in the bottom of the fifth inning, but a double play by the Sailors helped kill off the rally.
In the sixth inning, the Sailors tallied their final run after three walks to start the inning were followed by an RBI fielder’s choice.
The bottom of the sixth frame saw the Sea Kings attempt to mount a rally, as they loaded the bases with no outs against Newport Harbor’s reliever. After two strikeouts, the final Sea Kings’ batter of the inning grounded out to extinguish the threat.
Max Brengel (‘27) had a pair of singles for the Sea Kings to extend his hitting streak to six games and his on-base streak to eight games.
The Sea Kings got great work out of the bullpen from Kyle Womack (‘27), who entered the game in the sixth inning with the bases loaded and nobody out. Womack was able to choke off that rally, surrendering only one run and finished his day with one hit and no earned runs allowed over two innings.
