Activists Protest Student Debt and Donald Trump By kevin santos staff

U

CSD students gathered together this afternoon to protest student debt and institutional racism during the second Million Student March. The protest is part of a nationwide movement by Million Student March organizers and the Black Liberation Collective.

Revelle College senior and protest organizer Aman Birk told the UCSD Guardian that the protestors are aiming to inform students about their goals in order to collectively pressure UC administrators to implement them.

“Our reasons for [organizing the protest] are rising tuition, increased student debt loans, an increase of hate on campus and a lack of administration response,” Birk said.

“We want to bring attention to these issues so [students] know there are others here on campus willing to fight, and from this we hope to create momentum to actually have our demands reach the Regents and the state legislature.”

Revelle junior and demonstrator Clif Pottberg explained that the objective of the march is to make students aware that they should not have to subject themselves to student debt in exchange for a college degree.

“Most people don’t realize the UC system used to be free, prior to Reagan becoming governor,” Pottberg said. “Just the fact that we’re here raising awareness that people could

be paying less for the same quality of education. What we’re paying to the university is a drop in the bucket to them. For us, it’s indentured servitude.”

Birk described that the Million Student March at UCSD had demands specific to the university, which called for the administration to reduce student debt.

“For our UCSD demands, we want a freeze on tuition,” Birk said. “We want Chancellor Khosla to take a salary pay cut and put that [money] towards scholarships for student activities. On top of that, we also want that $15 minimum wage that the UC [system] passed to extend to students who work less than 20 hours a week. We believe the work of a student working part-time is just as valuable as an employee working full-time, especially considering the student load of having to study and be a student.”

The first Million Student March took place in several locations across the country on Nov. 12 of last year. According to the movement’s website, the second demonstration now puts a focus on challenging the xenophobia incited by Republican nominee candidate Donald Trump.

Birk clarified that the recent graffiti incident was unrelated to the event’s planning.

University Investigates Sexual Harassment Cases Documents show that 11 UCB faculty members found guilty of sexual harassment were not fired.

BY ming-ray liao

senior staff writer The UC Berkeley Office for the Prevention of Harassment and Discrimination released information regarding 11 sexual harassment investigations on April 6. With the release of this report, there are currently a total of 19 UC Berkeley campus employees known to have violated UC sexual harassment policies over the past seven years.

Of the 11 respondents investigated by the University of California, three resigned, four had their contracts terminated and four received punishment in severity varying from suspension to a letter of warning.

None of the faculty members found in violation of the policies were fired.

UC Berkeley Assistant Vice Chancellor Dan Mogulof told the Daily Californian that the university recognizes the issue at hand and the task required.

“There are obviously things that campus leadership was aware of, and [it’s] part of the reason we’ve announced all the things we’ve announced and acknowledged very explicitly that we’ve got work to do,” Mogulof said.

Most recently, UC Berkeley graduate students Kathleen Gutierrez and Erin Bennet decided to take legal action against assistant professor Blake Wentworth on April 12 due to the university’s “deliberate indifference.”

Although university inspections concluded that Wentworth had violated harassment policies in October, he was not subject to disciplinary action and

remains employed at UC Berkeley.

Gutierrez told The Guardian that the experiences have been distressing.

“It was so disturbing to me to know that was happening in my workplace, that he made such an assertive comeon to me,” Gutierrez said. “I remember being very scared to think I might be alone with him.”

UCSD computer science graduate student Kristjan Jonsson commented on the report and stated that severe violations should involve legal intervention.

“I think for more serious cases, both the legal system and the university should handle it,” Jonsson told the UCSD Guardian. “Having both is better since the amount of See BERKELEY, page 3

Five unidentified hooded white males vandalized UCSD with chalk statements supporting Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and his anti-immigrant policies on April 8, CBS 8 reported. The messages — which included “TRITONS 4 TRUMP” and “BUILD THE WALL, DEPORT THEM ALL” — were written on Library Walk and the sidewalks near the Raza Resource Centro.

UCSD’s Chancellor, Executive Vice Chancellor and Vice Chancellors released a joint statement on April 11 in which they deemed the content of the statements reflective of America’s “divisive political climate” and contrary to the university’s Principles of Community.

“Unfortunately, late Friday evening graffiti promoting the deportation of undocumented immigrants and the construction of a wall on the border of Mexico was discovered chalked on UC San Diego’s campus sidewalks,” the statement said. “This graffiti runs counter to our campus values of equity and inclusion. We value diversity and respect for all cultures.”

Eleanor Roosevelt College Provost Ivan Evans condemned the statement a day earlier in a Facebook post for targeting “Mexico and Latino/a students” and called upon the campus community to not give the culprits credibility.

“ERC therefore urges the campus at large to reframe this incident as an occasion to acknowledge the persistence of gross insensitivity in American society and insist on greater multicultural understanding on campus,” Evans said. “Whoever furtively inflicted this incident on campus does not deserve the attention they cannot receive through rational discourse and open debate.”

Senior Advocate for the A.S. Office of Student Advocacy Randon Herrera told the UCSD Guardian that the actions could constitute several student conduct code violations.

These include, “conduct that threatens health or safety of any person” (VII.H), “verbal, written, electronic, or other threats of violence” (VII.I), and “conduct (e.g. harassment) that is so severe and/or pervasive, and objectively offensive, and that so substantially impairs a person’s access to University programs or activities that the person is effectively denied equal access to the University’s resources and opportunities” (VII.J).

Marriage Could Improve Survival Rates of Cancer Patients Using data from the California Cancer Registry, the team concluded this relationship varies between ethnicities and races.

By Julie Yip

STAFF WRITER A research team from the UC San Diego School of Medicine, UC Davis and Cancer Prevention Institute of California and of Stanford University determined that marriage can improve cancer survival. The scientists, who found that the correlation varies across a range of ethnicities and races, published their study in the journal Cancer on Tuesday.

Previous research consistently indicated that unmarried cancer patients suffer higher mortality rates compared to their married counterparts. In particular, the greatest difference in mortality rates was found to be between non-Hispanic white males, at 24 percent. Additionally, mortality affects more unmarried than married individuals among the U.S.-born Hispanic and Asian/Pacific Islander populations, relative to their foreign-born counterparts.

The scientists analyzed cancer patients and their marital statuses within the California Cancer Registry, a statewide database comprised of information regarding

those diagnosed with some form of cancer. This data includes approximately 393,470 males and 389,697 females who were diagnosed from 2000 through 2009 for the 10 most common sites of cancer-related deaths.

Co-author of the study, James D. Murphy at UCSD School of Medicine, described to the UCSD Guardian that the cancer registry reveals a limited amount of information.

“The California Cancer Registry contains marital status at the time of diagnosis,” Murphy said. “Marriage is dynamic, and people will become divorced, widowed, remarry or even marry for the first time after diagnosis.”

Maria Elena Martinez, lead author and Sam M. Walton Endowed Chair in Cancer Research at the Moores Cancer Center, explained to the Guardian that, with a deeper understanding of ethnic, racial and socioeconomic backgrounds, health professionals may be able to optimize their care.

“I feel that awareness among clinicians and other health care providers of this higher risk for unmarried patients is important,” Martinez said. “It is almost as if a ‘red

flag’ should go up when a provider comes across an unmarried patient, especially a male patient.”

The proportion of unmarried American men and women continues to increase. According to the Pew Research Center, the number of adults aged 25 and older who had never been married increased from 9 percent of the population in 1960 to roughly 20 percent in 2012. Furthermore, males were more likely than females to have been unmarried, at 23 percent and 17 percent, respectively.

Despite this data, unmarried individuals can incur the benefits that marriage offers without getting married. Scarlett L. Gomez, researcher at Cancer Prevention Institute of California and principal investigator of a companion paper analyzing socioeconomic factors, stated that such benefits include less social isolation and social support, tangible or emotional.

“A strong support system can have meaningful impacts on the odds of survival after a cancer diagnosis,” Gomez told the Guardian. “Spousal or child support [and] encouragement can lead to better health behaviors,

such as adherence to recommended health screening … [and] more exercise. Social support may also help to buffer stress, which in turn can inhibit tumor progression through immunologic or neuroendocrine processes.”

Muir College sophomore Irfan Habib that this data might instill unnecessary concern in unmarried men and women, or simply prompt some individuals to find other factors to cancer unrelated to marital status. To continually increase cancer awareness, he suggested organizing activities that educate UCSD students on healthy lifestyles and to avoid high-risk behavior.

“I think cancer awareness can be improved simply by reminding people through organizations and newsletters [how to prevent cancercausing activities, such as smoking, and] that cancer is still a huge problem we are fighting,” Habib said.

“We can improve our chances against cancer by staying healthy and not taking part in risky behaviors.”

chalking] developed a little more impetus [for the protest] than we expected, but the incidents of this past weekend were not directly related to why we’re here today,” Birk said.

During the march, Trump supporters congregated on the path between Outback Adventures and Geisel Library waving American flags. Revelle sophomore and Trump supporter Fernando Calderon explained that their presence was meant to show the UCSD community the diversity of student opinions on campus.

“We’re here to let people know on campus there are other point of views; not just what the majority believes,” Calderon told the Guardian. “It’s important to express your political opinions no matter what they are, left or right. I personally don’t agree with [the demonstrators], but everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I just think it’s fair to show there’s another side of the coin to every issue.”

In addition, protesters found the presence of campus police at their demonstration to be unusual.

“It’s unusual that [the police] are here because they’re usually not,” Muir College senior Fabiola Orozco.

However, campus police sergeant John Smart stated that he did not intend to challenge the demonstrators’ First Amendment rights, but to guarantee safety for everyone present.

“I support the students and their ability to exercise their freedom of speech,” Smart told the Guardian. “I was there to make sure everyone was safe. For instance, if the march had gone out onto the street, then traffic would need to be stopped to ensure everyone’s safety.”

Regents Must Approve Termination of Faculty Member Contracts ▶ BERKELEY, from page 1

CORRECTION: The UCSD Guardian misreported on April 11 in “BSU Hosts Overnight Program for Black Students” that the #BlackAtUCSD social media campaign was one month long and that the overnight program was held in conjunction with it. #BlackAtUCSD is a quarter-long campaign and the overnight program is separate from it.

evidence required in a legal court is quite high. That way, even if you didn’t have a strong enough legal case there might still be enough evidence for the university to consider it a violation and take action.”

The UC Board of Regents has to approve termination of a faculty member once it has been recommended by a faculty committee. UC President Napolitano created a joint committee in October to specifically review and oversee adjudication as well as sanctioning practices regarding sexual harassment and violence. The newly formed committee will oversee the entire investigation process dealing with sexual violations in the coming months.

Of the 11 respondents, UC Berkeley men’s basketball assistant coach Yann Hufnagel rebutted allegations against him with 900-plus text messages to prove his innocence. The evidence revealed that the interaction between Hufnagel and the complainant was

mutually flirtatious. Hufnagel resigned before the review was released.

April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month at both UC Berkeley and UCSD, where the respective institutions seek to raise awareness and educate their communities on how to prevent sexual violence. Warren College senior Danielle Tobey states that the outreach initiative at the Sexual Assault Resource Center is limited during most of the academic school year.

“SARC does a good job, although I don’t hear or see much about [sexual violence education] unless it’s sexual assault awareness month,” Tobey told the Guardian. “It’s less apparent compared to its partner organization CAPS.” Jonsson reiterated Tobey’s statement by suggesting that SARC escalate its operations to prevent them from being overlooked.

“I haven’t really noticed any sexual harassment education on campus so there probably needs to be more of it,” Jonsson said.

Nancy Wahlig, Director of the Center for Advocacy, Resources and Education at SARC told the UCSD Guardian that they have been working on implementing CARE, which aims to ensure consistent services across all campuses. The President’s Task Force on Sexual Violence is supporting the new department by also increasing staffing.

Wahlig added that apart from their initiative during the Sexual Assault Awareness Month, SARC offers a variety of resources over the course of the year for students, staff and faculty while also cooperating with other organizations to increase awareness.

“We...frequently collaborate with campus partners on a variety of initiates,” Wahlig said. “With our staff and the involvement of our student peer education interns, we continue to expand our outreach efforts to make sure the campus community is aware of our services.”

The Merits of Being Multilingual

SLATI N G ON TH IN ICE

AROUND THE GLOBE Marcus Thuillier MTHUILLI@UCSD.EDu

ILLUSTRATION BY ALEX LEE

Though student government’s two-slate system increases voter turnout, resulting tension and polarization does more harm than good in facilitating action.

This year’s A.S. elections were dominated by the same two slates that competed with each other last year, mirroring the two-party system that defines our national politics. Though some may argue that a dominant party will get A.S. Council to act as a cohesive unit, history has shown that this isn’t necessarily the case. In the 2014–15 school year, when A.S. was dominated by Tritons Forward, Council meetings were as indecisive as ever, with a number of controversies involving the C.H.E. Cafe and Co-op representation on the Council taking up a lot of time. Taking a look back at A.S. Council’s recent history, students will realize that party affiliations are hardly a determinant when it comes to Council’s role of: appropriating student funds, saving student spaces, diversifying who can voice their opinion on Council and jump-starting new programs. Such divisive campaigning, then, is more preoccupying than progressive.

A look at both parties’ platforms reveals how fundamentally similar their goals are. This year, Students Determined’s platform promised to “increase accessibility of mental health resources, educate students on sexual assault policies being implemented at the systemwide level, among many other concerns.” Similarly, Tritons United emphasized that over the past years they have, “improved awareness on important topics such as sexual assault, mental health and intersectionality, protected valuable UCSD traditions such as Sun God, and ensured that your student fees went to where students wanted their money spent.” If anything, the elections are not a contest between differing ideas but a debate over who is best able to carry out our collective goals.

Running together on the same slate undoubtedly allows candidates to bond in a unique way by forcing them to learn how to work through their differences. However, campaigning and governing are two distinct

experiences: one is about winning, while the other involves a concrete implementation of those plans. During campaign season, the goal is to win and, as such, candidates affiliate themselves with a slate which can provide them with financial support and visibility. However, candidates become Councilmembers, and personal as well as political preferences inevitably change with their new roles. Even though candidates may have chosen to run on the same slate because they have worked well together in the past, their relationships could very well change and inhibit their general campaign goals from being realized. Additionally, the most recent elections had several candidates added to slates at the last minute because of unexpected vacancies, illustrating that slates can and often choose members simply to fill a void rather than to develop concrete solutions to campus problems.

Issues pertaining to political bandwagoning, such as inaccurate representation of student views and rapid slate formation begin with the length of the election cycle itself. The slate registration, campaign and voting processes all take place within the course of a month, which is simply not enough time for slates to establish their positions and membership adequately. Requiring candidates to form their slates earlier in the year, and prior to registration, would allow candidates to fully define platforms slate before campaigning and reducing the likelihood of ideas potentially being stolen. Also, this would allow potential candidates to find students and create slates rather than reconfigure their ideas to those of an established slate. The principle of embracing individuality should be furthered by organizations which choose to endorse candidates. As we have seen, slate formation has its shortcomings and the label alone is unreliable in predicting how a candidate will vote when elected to office, let alone how well they will work with their fellow Councilmembers. Although endorsing individuals poses the same

Sun God’s History of Male Headliners Reflects Sexism in Music Industry The pervasive trend of male headliners at large music festivals is something that has trickled down to our own Sun God Festival, year after year. Although the selection of firstline musicians doesn’t necessitate an anti-female artist sentiment from our student body or ASCE, it is a bias that can and should be addressed.

With not one Sun God headliner in the past 10 years being female or including a female in the band, the UCSD Guardian Editorial Board urges ASCE to strongly consider a female performer as the first-line artist in future Sun God Festival lineups. By doing so, ASCE can take proactive measures to address the lackluster representation of female artists in the music industry and publically acknowledge the amount of talent and hard work that goes into music production from all across the gender spectrum.

The Sun God Festival is by no means alone in consistently featuring male headliners and performers. Taking 2015 festival posters and editing them to remove the male performers, Kristine Cannon of sheknows.com exposed the largely male bias in these largescale, multi-day concerts. The most inclusive festival was Governors Ball in NYC, counting a total of 66 artists, 20 of whom were female.

Lollapalooza in Chicago topped out

at 34 acts including a female out of 135 total. The largest disparity pointed out by Cannon was Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, CA. Coachella had 162 bands overall, 22 including a female musician. For “reference, the Sun God Festival headliners for the past 10 years, starting from 2016 back to 2006, are as follows: Miguel, Snoop Dogg, Diplo, Kendrick Lamar, Silversun Pickups, Wiz Khalifa, Drake, N*E*R*D, Coheed and Cambria, T.I. and My Chemical Romance.

Female musicians being snubbed for the headliner spot, or even the first line of music festival posters, is the product of maledominance in the music industry.

In an in-depth PItchfork interview, producer-singer Bjork commented on the reality she faces as a female musician — having the male in the production studio being credited for her work despite Bjork being the primary singer/songwriter and music producer. Albeit her accompanying male producers would deny ownership of the album created by Bjork, the perception that Bjork was not the originator remains pervasive. Experimental pop artist Grimes expressed similar dissatisfaction with the music industry in an interview with The Fader, stating that any attempt for

her to take over the production side of her own music in a studio led to the engineers not allowing her to use the equipment, while men could have access to it easily.

Billing a female musician as next year’s Sun God Festival’s headliner won’t vanquish the inherent sexism in the music industry, not at all.

What it will and can do, though, is acknowledge musicians who are just as talented as their male counterparts but less frequently lauded for their efforts. Music festival organizers have used the excuse of featuring male artists in hopes of drawing more crowds and, thus, more revenue. Not only is this sexist, it does not even cater to the demographics of festival goers, of whom over half are female.

However, money toward Sun God Festival is allocated by students through annual student fees, thus any notion from popular music festivals that a male headliner will drive ticket sales is completely awash. Simply put, why hasn’t there been a female headliner? A secondline performer, like Jhene Aiko in 2015 or Michelle Branch in 2010, is not the same as the first-line headliner position and should not be settled for. Ten years UCSD has gone without a female headliner and there should not be one more year.

A leading subject of discord in America, especially for first- and second-generation immigrants, is whether or not students should drop their native language and instead learn only English.

However, multilingualism is a proven asset in modern America and the lack of support for multilingualism is appalling.

A survey by the European Commission asked in 2006, “Can you have a conversation in a language besides your mother tongue?” To which 56 percent of the respondents said they could.

However, in the United States, this question is not even being asked. The United States Census Bureau reported in 2009 that about 20 percent of Americans speak a language other than English at home. However, we cannot get any decisive conclusion from such a unrefined question, instead turning to language requirements in school to differentiate between European countries and the United States.

In Europe, 20 countries require the study of a second foreign language for at least one year. For your average student, that means picking up English early and also getting to practice French, German or Spanish, among other languages offered. Within Europe, there is also a difference, as a non-English speaking country like Spain requires picking up a second language at the age of six, while the UK puts that minimum at 11, while Scotland only offers languages as an option, according to the Pew Research Center.

But turn the spotlight on the other side of the Atlantic and the results are jaw-dropping. The U.S. does not have a national requirement for students to learn a foreign language in school, and when you break it down on a federal level, it gets worse.

An article by the New York Times reports that Californian students can take an arts class and claim they passed the language requirement to graduate high school and get into college. On the opposite side of that, states like New Jersey need “at least five credits in world languages” or must “demonstrate proficiency in a language other than English before they can graduate high school.” So everything is not completely bleak.

In the end, one might ask: What is the point? Learning a second languages has proven to have health benefits, like reducing the chances of onset of Alzheimer’s or dementia, as shown by a study conducted at UCSD in 2012.

Multilinguals also conduct a “workout” by shifting between languages, which makes them quicker and better at multitasking.

The 2004 study confirming this was conducted by psychologists Ellen Bialystok and Michelle Martin-Rhee, and proved that multilinguals had “higher levels of cognitive brain function, and were more adept at solving problems, planning, and other ‘mentally demanding tasks.”

If the education system in place is encouraging students to only pick up English and have no interest in their cultural and linguistic heritage, then the U.S. should be ashamed of wasting such a beautiful thing.

dilemma in terms of the next election term, students will be confronted with more specific ideas. Slate names and affiliations can be misleading as well, reducing complex problems to a general view that offers quick fixes. Ultimately, it is the individual Councilmembers who will be voting and creating A.S. Council programs.

Thus, their personal perspective, which cannot be possibly addressed in a short campaign slogan or list of platforms, is what voters need to understand.

An extreme alternative to the two-slate system would be to do away with slates entirely, a solution which would force voters to pick

candidates based on their individual merits rather than the group they associate with. As ideal as this solution may sound, though, it still has its potential drawbacks. Without support from a larger group — and with students simply voting for candidates based on slate affiliation rather than on individual philosophy — elections may become even more of a popularity contest. Having a wider variety of unaffiliated candidates may also increase voter apathy by overwhelming students with too many choices, a potentially disastrous result given that only 20 percent of the UCSD student body turned out to elect 16 students to represent them on A.S. Council for the 2016–17 academic year. With

a smaller percentage, the election would have been considered void.

These potential drawbacks, however, must not overshadow the central issue that independent candidates cannot garner nearly as much publicity as slate candidates, who — due to group membership — benefit from pooled resources and greater manpower.

A feasible first solution to this would be for A.S. Council to provide all candidates with basic resources for their campaigns, such as an official website listing the candidates’ statements and an allowance to fund other campaign activities. This additional resource would level the playing field and ensure that everyone’s voice is heard equally.

Interview by Dieter Joubert // Senior Staff Writer

Time has always been a factor that permeates Richard Linklater’s filmography, both as a major theme and as a filmmaking technique. The latter has rocketed him to critical success, with “Boyhood” and his “Before” trilogy using the natural aging of actors to elevate their narratives.

Linklater’s latest film, “Everybody Wants Some!!” is a bit of a return to his earlier work, eschewing such techniques while also meaning to act as a “spiritual sequel” to his popular 1993 coming-of-age flick “Dazed and Confused.”

Like most of Linklater’s films, it unabashedly plays into his own experiences. It’s decidedly white, middle-class and Texan. Which is by no means a criticism, given how effortlessly Linklater draws universal themes and conclusions from his personal experiences. “Everybody Wants Some!!” may be replete with baseball and binge drinking, but at its heart, it’s a perfect slice-of-life look at the changes students undergo through their transition into college, and a nostalgic look into the early 1980s.

The UCSD Guardian was lucky enough to share reminiscence with three of the young stars of the film. Blake Jenner plays Jake, the protagonist of the film and the newest addition to Texas Southern University’s baseball team, swept into a jovial yet competitive landscape of sports, girls, partying and looming classes. Tyler Hoechlin portrays Glen McReynolds, the baseball team’s captain, torn between being a friend and stern mentor towards Jake. Lastly, Will Brittain plays Billy Autrey, the only member of the team in a long-distance relationship, which brings along a whole different set of challenges.

Q: Since this film is about college in the ‘80s, how do you think college students in this day and age will relate to it?

Q:

This seems like a really fun movie to make. Is this how it was in reality, or were there any tough days on set or tough scenes to shoot?

Blake: I would say that all the external things, like the music and the clothes Will: Not one. Not any of us can recall a bad day, or even a bad hour on set. So I and the haircuts, that all changes with time. But growing up and figuring out who you think it’s pretty rare to have that, not even being able to have a single bad day to talk are and figuring out your niche in a group, that all stays the same.

about for this whole shoot.

Will: It’s just like with every new batch of college students: you have a bunch of people questioning the world and seeing it in a new way. That’s the beauty of college.

Tyler: It was all just fun. That’s a feeling that comes down from Richard Linklater, and he takes that feeling and pushes it down to the entire set. When you’re

You’re introduced to the world on a larger scale, with this safety net of academics and structure, and this allows you to raise those bigger questions without fear of not being able to pay your bills. That’s what these guys are doing, they’re living in this bubble of their glory days, and able to really examine the world around them.

Q: The movie revels in the music and fashion of the late ‘70s, early ‘80s. What were your favorite parts of bringing this time back to life?

Will: I would say the social aspect. It was great being in the disco club and not having any directions for any of the people in the background to be like, “okay so at

this point, be on your cell phone, not paying attention to anything around you,” which seems to be happening all the time now. So I just loved living in that world for a little bit. It was nice just to have music going and people actually dancing, socializing, having a good time.

Tyler: In the 1980s, everything wasn’t so PC, and I mean that in the best way possible. People weren’t always looking to take offense. It was sort of a time period

where everybody was enjoying themselves and the people around them. The whole STD crisis hadn’t come out yet. From what Rick has told us and from what we’ve seen, it was a time period where people were just a lot more easygoing.

Blake: What I pulled from this movie is just to … live in the now. With everything around us, all the traffic, and the mindset we get approached with day to

hanging out on this set, it was just so laid-back all the time, that you can’t even question it, you’re just having a good time.

Q: My favorite part of the movie, on top of your performances, was the hair and the clothes. Did that allow you guys to escape into that period more easily?

Tyler: The first time I put on the clothes for McReynolds, even just walking out from the production office … I literally felt myself walking differently, I think I had a

different pace and stride. It’s just the weirdest thing how you can change just a little bit of your physical exterior and have this sense that people aren’t seeing you so much as that they are seeing the character. It’s a really bizarre but freeing feeling, it makes you feel a little safer to play and push the boundaries.

Q: Nostalgia is a huge theme throughout Linklater’s work. How do you think this film fits into his anthology of work, in terms of that nostalgic theme?

Blake: Looking at Rick’s films, this is sort of the side of Rick that’s always been an athlete, and likes to hang back and have a good time. It presents that side of him … But just like everything he does, it’s streaked with these notes of deep philosophical reflections on life. That’s the kind of guy he is, and he puts that in all his work. So it’s really nice with this movie to see that through an athlete’s perspective.

day, with Twitter and social media and how connected everybody is, you forget about the moment and what’s right in front of you.

Indie pop duo XYLO rocked on at The Loft in an energizing performance that all audience members could tap into.

X

YLO’s SoundCloud account is deceiving.

Listening to tracks before the concert to get in the groove?

There’s not much you can do to anticipate how Paige Duddy’s soft vocals and her brother’s slow, rhythmic “tropical house” beats — reflective of Kygo — could possibly echo off a shrilling set, fusing sharp metallic guitar chords with thunderous drums. All of this happens as the lights shock the room in color schemes unique to each song. But the jocund-yetthrilling experience can only be attributed to Duddy’s own energy.

Her exchanges with the guitarist, a clear conversation where the two seemed to push each other into ecstasy, emanated straight through to the audience. Diligently supported by the percussionist and her brother Chase’s turntables, Duddy held nothing back when she engaged with the audience, maintaining eye contact and swaying as if she were part of the crowd.

Although the show was grungy

and, arguably, a rock concert by most standards, the duo created an intimate atmosphere through Duddy’s bold interactions with the audience and universal lyrical themes. Most of the set is based on the duo’s personal experiences and, as Paige told the UCSD Guardian, “Every song is a journey through our personalities and who we are.”

Indeed they are, as the lyrics unveil the modern-day struggle of finding intimacy in a fast-paced world where we “just wanna be loved” (L.A. Love Song) but can never be sure if something is “Silver or White Gold.” Additionally, there is a constant discussion of how “we’re living on automatic” (BLK CLD) and are aware of it but the immediate solution to how a “heart is like a cool box” is “a lite beer” (L.A. Love Song).

While the set was exciting, the sheer volume of the music unfortunately overpowered Duddy’s quieter sound and emotional message. Indeed, the raging guitar trills at times resulted in an exhausting noise

rather than sound, particularly in songs where the lyrics constitute a repetition of the same few lines like in “Bang Bang.” However, this is was a minor technical flaw, as the musicians’ synchronicity kept the audience transfixed. Furthermore, they incorporated elements of EDM through smooth buildups and consistent, clear drops. Chase Duddy amped up the percussion but managed to enhance it by restraining the sound to the background through reverbs. Beats are dispersed throughout each song but silenced to let Paige solo during more bittersweet songs like “America; she depends on them to maintain the somber, raw character of lyrics alive amid the roaring percussion. Though the live performance was definitely more high-intensity than their EP, XYLO low-key mesh of strong beats and powerful lyrics relay an electrifying yet honest reality.

hen The Lumineers released their self-titled debut album in 2012, they drew comparisons to bands like Mumford & Sons but made a name for themselves with their own simplistic, rustic folk sound. Four years later, The Lumineers’ second album, “Cleopatra,” ushers in a darker, moodier tone that displays the band’s growth while preserving their previously established identity.

Although “Cleopatra” retains the unmistakable indie folk sound that The Lumineers became known for, it abandons the jukebox, 1920s parlor sound that permeated the previous album. Gone are the clapping, stomping and ragtime melodies; instead, there’s a more prominent use of drums and electric guitars that allow the album to sound more contemporary, as heard in “Sleep on the Floor” and “Gale Song.”

Still, “Cleopatra” relies on instruments like the piano and tambourine to remind us of their traditional folk roots. The album’s first single, “Ophelia,” demonstrates the fusion of the contemporary and traditional by combining ominous drum-filled verses with the upbeat piano chorus. But what ties all the songs together is lead singer Wesley Schultz, whose hollow, breathy vocals maintain the same soulful vibe running throughout the album while fluctuating between trills and high notes to keep it riveting.

However, the defining factor of

“Cleopatra” is its incredibly poetic and storytelling lyrics that are narrated by various characters. For example, the titular song “Cleopatra” is based on a real taxi driver, following her life story from “I was Cleopatra, I was young and an actress” to “Now a nurse in white shoes leads me back to my guestroom/ It’s a bed and a bathroom/And a place for the end.” Many of these stories have tragic endings: in “Long Way From Home,” a man sees his hospital roommate die (“More morphine, the last words you moaned/At last I was sure/That you weren’t far away from home”). The Lumineers do a brilliant job of matching the emotional weight of each story with the somber ambience of each song, and their lyrical strength lends to the poignant, subdued tone of the whole album.

Clearly, The Lumineers have evolved from upbeat, toe-tapping folk to a heavier, more refined sound.

There isn’t a blatant radio-ready hit single that compares to “Ho Hey,” but the band succeeds in delivering heartfelt stories and contemplative tunes. In short, “Cleopatra” is an immensely enjoyable album that fans of The Lumineers and folk music in general can be excited about.

The Lot at La Jolla

BY Ian Le Tran

T

ucked away in the quiet corner of La Jolla’s Drury Lane, the LOT is an escape adventurers can’t miss. Considered by many locals to be a stylish and sophisticated community hub for entertainment and dining, the LOT offers more than just fancy, fresh edibles and loose, live music for the relaxed ear. With close proximity to the shoreline, a beautiful indoor atmosphere, craft cocktail bars and a wide selection of the latest blockbuster films and throwback classics, locals simply looking to kick back from a long day’s worth of work or go on an intimate date will find the LOT venue a no-brainer. It is safe to say that that the LOT humbly promises an inspiring and artistic lifestyle experience like no other. Now, to the nitty gritty.

Taken from the LOT’s breakfast menu, carefully developed by Chef Pitashny, are Garden Eggs, a breakfast entree made up of sunny-side eggs, gruyere cheese, fava beans, grilled asparagus, tomato, leeks, fresh herbs, Fresno peppers and grilled rustic bread would price at $15. No one was kidding when they said fancy. Same applies to the LOT’s lunch and dinner menus developed by local Chef Matt Sramek. Keep in mind that all three menus feature the best in local produce, meats and seafood, not

to mention the broad selection of organic and vegetarian food options. But it doesn’t stop there. Every Tuesday, movie-goers can find comfort in knowing that tickets are priced at 10 bucks for people of all ages, while for other days, ticket prices vary from $15 to as much as $21 depending on the movie. Aside from movie tickets and dining options, individuals can reserve tables at $30 and under as well as arrange private parties or a company meeting at the venue. And yes, you can invite your guests to stay for a movie or two if it’s your very own party. In the end, it all comes down to whether one wants to spill a couple bones for the experience, which many can agree is revolutionary in its integration of upscale dining and entertainment. It’s hard to find venues these days that have both elements. So don’t bother looking for similar places to the LOT in downtown San Diego, because you won’t find any. For all the first-timers who haven’t gone, the LOT is a venue worth trying.

I

know you did a segment on rave etiquette, but what should I keep in mind for Theatre for the movies? — Anonymous While I can clearly see you’re taking the optimistic route — let me guess, the water cup is halffull — I however prefer straightup, blunt critique with a side of edamame and anger. This is a general list of implied social implications in our American episteme of what not to do at a theatre or cinema venue: things that need to be corrected in darkred blood-colored complete-ragemode red pen.

With select exceptions — triggers at the forefront, followed by bladder necessities — leaving a venue, especially in a Theatre, is an unforgivable sin. Now you may be thinking: but Mister Man, hell is an endless margarita bar at a five-star beach resort where Satan welcomes you with a lei, endless booze and a flamboyant “Welcome to hell.” No. You see, judgement is in the eyes of everyone as your silhouette blocks Elphaba’s deflating lungs when she ascends to greatness or white boy Zac Efron when — surprise surprise — his chiseled abs are once again the plot device of every script. You are disrupting the continuity of the performance because — news flash — you were not written into the shooting script or blocked into the set. I have seen this rule violated primarily as a way to protect privilege. Once, after an “f-bomb” on-stage, nearly a third of the audience walked out. During a campus performance, there was dialogue that didn’t protect people’s privilege. Oh no, the world’s not here to coddle your confined epistemological view of the world where everyone goes country clubbing at the resident golf course, slobbering over gentrification and $30 burgers. Because you’re going to disregard how hard the production team and cast have worked to bring fresh narratives into the world, let me get one thing straight for you: Kasich’s. Gonna. Lose.

The opposite side of the spectrum, in contrast to people leaving early, is people arriving late. This applies more so to performances than movies — because, for some reason, people care about seeing previews for the same recycled movie plot — but spare no exceptions on this. Arriving late to your seat is terminally offensive, especially during intermission. I was just at the Orpheum and the disregard for the playbill’s “INTERMISSION IS FIFTEEN MINUTES” in bold, Times New Roman — that’s when you know it’s real — reduced me to a state of vegetation as audience members continued filing back into their seats three minutes into the performance. I could feel the orchestra members perforating with disgust with the trumpet player on the verge of submitting his resignation letter. Look, if you hate brown rice and want it white then holla: Respect that other people are present as well and don’t disrupt continuity — you can’t resuture it.

A unique and growing form of urban investment for many major cities like Brooklyn, Los Angeles, Seattle and San Francisco, public markets have finally hit San Diego. These hotspots of local eateries, fresh ingredients and innovative confections seem to be catering to the upper echelon — especially at the Liberty Public Market — but are nonetheless integral to the local dining scene and the “must see” travel list.

Emphatic for Empanadas by: Brittney Lu//Lifestyle Co-Editor

Don’t let the line intimidate you from Parana’s Empanadas Argentinas — these little pockets of sunshine are well worth the line snaking behind the glass display of golden pastries filled with assorted meats, vegetables and cheese. At $2.60 per empanada, these glorious Argentine treats are as delicious as they are affordable. And don’t let their sizes fool you, although smaller than the usual American portion, the empanadas are filled to the maximum capacity their delicately crisp pastry allows. Highly recommended is the rajas and cheese empanada, generously stuffed with roasted chiles, queso and corn while perfectly balancing spice and warmth. Beyond the taste, each empanada is hand-crafted and personally stamped with an initial indicating its contents — a unique and Instagram-worthy touch. Finish this experience with an alfajor, a paradoxically dense yet fluffy shortbread cookie sandwich stuffed with decadent dulce de leche and crowned with toasted coconut shreds. With seasonings atypical to the usual San Diegan diner, Parana is a trifecta of comfort food, intricate flavors and cost-efficiency.

Pasta Design

by: Marcus Thuillier//Contributing Writer Aesthetically speaking, Pasta Design stands out with its variegated pasta and nice layout of San Pellegrino. Socially speaking, Pasta Design deserves to be praised for its commitment to using fresh products, even going down the aisle to the butcher to get its ground beef. When it comes down to taste, however, the pasta leaves you exceedingly disappointed.

Advertising its lasagna as “the best lasagna in the world,” Pasta Design is shooting itself in the food(t) by letting the customer remember everything but the pasta itself. Sadly, the lasagna is layered in a way that strictly separates the ground beef and the cheese, while the pasta is soggy and saturated in water. Moving on from the lasagna, the other pastas and sauces tasted relatively gourmet, although not as amazing as advertised.

Pasta Design has decent food that is slightly overpriced, but by expecting the best lasagna in the world, the puffery does not stand after the first bite.

Le Parfait

by: Brittney Lu//Lifestyle Co-Editor A little piece of France in the heart of San Diego’s bourgeois food market, Le Parfait is reminiscent of a corner cafe tucked away in a Parisian boulevard. Immediately, you’re drawn into a beautiful array of pastries — raspberry tarts dusted with confectioner’s sugar, chocolate domes rested upon spongy cakes and iconic eclairs glossed with chocolate. While everyone knows that there is always room for dessert, make sure you save some room for a prerequisite savory treat from Le Parfait. Rustic baguettes that crackle with each bite are stuffed with aged salami, fragrant cheeses and jams ranging from the usual strawberry to the more unusual fig, creating the ultimate flavor combination.

And in the French way, accompany le course with a strong espresso or a frothy cafe au lait.

Mama Made Thai

by: Shelby Newallis//Lifestyle Senior Staff Writer Thai food is one of those cuisines, like Italian and Mexican, that seems almost universally loved. With dishes such as Pad Thai, Tom Yum Soup and Panang curry, it’s hard to make a bad decision. Finding authentic Thai cuisine, however, is not always as easy (sorry Hi Thai).

Luckily, Liberty Public Market houses Mama Made Thai, which focuses on recreating street food with a healthy twist. Inspired by Bangkok’s diverse cuisine, Mama Made Thai prides itself on using family recipes, fresh and local ingredients and no MSG, to avoid that “greasy feeling.” With a large selection of appetizers, noodles, rice and soups, it is recommended to bring a friend, so that you don’t have to settle for just one dish. The UCSD Guardian tried the vegetable spring rolls ($6), Jasmine curry fried rice ($8) and the vegetable Pad See Ew ($8). While each dish was delicious, the Jasmine curry fried rice takes the cake, with its menagerie of spices, sprinkling of raisins and vegetables, creating a complex flavor combination. Would recommend, 8.5/10.

Wicked Maine Lobster by: Olga Golubkova//Lifestyle Co-Editor

Owners of food trucks and small food joints have long realized that anything can be turned into a street-food dish if put in a piece of bread. No surprise Wicked Maine Lobster decided to bring their fresh-caught lobster — seafood that one would not normally see as street food-affordable — in the form of lobster rolls to farmers markets and fairs across San Diego. Deliciously buttery and tender, Wicked Maine lobster rolls are served warm with butter or chilled with mayo. Regardless of what option you choose, you are guaranteed a filling sandwich with ideal lobster-to-toast ratio and a side of fries or onion rings (unfortunately, you do not get to choose between the two). Generously stuffed with big juicy pieces of lobster meat, this dish comes for a price of $16 — a sum $4-5 lower than at seafood restaurants, but arguably higher than what you expect to spend on a market meal. While the lobster roll is a Wicked Maine Lobster staple, its new menu features more traditional seafood dishes — Maine Lobster Taco with pico de gallo and New England clam chowder (one for $5 and three for $13), Lobster Mac N’ Cheese for $12, gluten-free New England Clam Chowder for $8 and lobster bisque for the same price. Eatery owners have also introduced two other kinds of signature rolls — the crab roll ($12) and shrimp roll ($10) are well-priced alternatives to their lobster relative.

Still hungry for that lobster meat? Wicked Maine sells fresh-picked lobster meat for $45/lb that can become a gourmet addition to your family dinner.

Bottle Craft

by: Shelby Newallis//Lifestyle Senior Staff Writer If there’s one thing you don’t mess with a San Diegan about, it’s beer. The beer culture in SD is intense — you’ve got your Ballast Point, Modern Times, Green Flash, Stone, to name a few. It doesn’t really seem to matter what time of day it is, San Diegans take time to enjoy a good beer.

It’s no different at Liberty Public Market, where at any given moment, cool dads, grandmas and hipsters alike can be seen enjoying a cold one while strolling through the market. After a little detective work, the Guardian found the source of the red solo cups at Bottlecraft, a beer-tasting room within the market. With an extensive selection of local San Diego beers, it might be hard to just pick one. If that’s the case, the Guardian recommends taking advantage of the $2.50 for four-ounce pours, and sampling a few. If four ounces just don’t cut it, there are eight-ounce pours for $4.50 and 16-ounce pours for $6. The Guardian sampled the Almanac Saison, a strong, pale Belgian ale with a dry finish and the Pizza Port Shark Bite, an Amber Ale with lots of hops. Both beers are 10/10, would recommend.

Sports Editor The Tritons’ men’s golf team had a mediocre finish at the 43rd Hanny Stanislaus Invitational where UCSD placed 11th out of 16 teams Tuesday at the Turlock Golf and Country Club.

UCSD ended the tournament with an 888 and (+24) over par, shooting a 297 in the third and final round on Tuesday, after shooting 295 and 296 on Monday.

Seniors Clayton Yamaguchi and Daniel Yang finished tied for 22nd out of 88 golfers with Yamaguchi

golfing 76–71–72 over three rounds, while Yang finished 71–76–72. Each scored 219 and 3–over par on the par–72 course.

Other contributors to the Tritons were senior Jeff Roseth (T–30th, 221), freshman Jake Haselden (T–72nd, 232) and freshman Drew Robbins (T–79, 236), for whom the tournament was a collegiate debut.

Chico State won its thirdstraight event by totaling a 14-under 850, solidifying its ranking as the number one team in the country.

No. 24 Sonoma State (857) had a strong finish at second, seven

strokes behind the Wildcats, while tournament-host Stanislaus State (861) came in third.

The individual leader was Sonoma State junior Justin Shluker, who shot a 65–71–71 and leading beginning to end up 9-under with a 207. Both with a 6-under 210, Chico State seniors Alistair Docherty and Lee Gearhart tied for second.

UCSD plays next at the California Collegiate Athletic Association Championship, April 18–20 at Silverado, in Napa.

allow the Seawolves to score a run until the rivals reached the bottom of the seventh inning. UCSD struggled offensively off Sonoma State’s junior starting pitcher Haydon Turpin, as he held the Tritons to only three hits and no runs scored in seven innings.

Sonoma State’s only run of the game came in the seventh inning, as Mott surrendered a leadoff single on a 3–2 count to put a man on first. Mott then got the next batter to ground out to the pitcher. But he failed to get the lead runner at second base as he took the out at first.

With a runner on second and one out, Sonoma State senior infielder Brett Sesma hit a single, putting runners on the corners. A routine sacrifice fly scored the only run of the game for the Seawolves, giving them a 1–0 advantage. The Tritons failed to get a rally started and lost the game 1–0 with only three hits while the Seawolves beat them with their seven.

UCSD will host San Francisco State for a three-game series next Saturday and Sunday with the first pitch on Saturday at 2 p.m.

H

aving just split its Friday games against San Francisco State, the UCSD softball team looked to take the series against its conference rivals and overtake them in the California Collegiate Athletic Association standings. After sweeping the Gators and splitting their following doubleheader with Cal State San Marcos, the Tritons improved to 29–17 overall and 19–13 in CCAA games.

Game One Riding in off of their bounceback win against San Francisco State on Friday, the Tritons looked to take the lead in their series against the Gators.

For the first few innings, however, the game remained quiet. Despite getting players on third base during the first and third innings, the Tritons couldn’t strike gold for the first half of the game.

But thanks to the Tritons’ defense, the score remained flatlined until they finally converted one of their opportunities in the fourth inning. With bases loaded, freshman shortstop Maddy Lewis, sophomore outfielder Kendall Woken and senior shortstop McKenna Clewett all found their ways home to put the Tritons up 3–0 by the end of the fourth inning.

With that, the Tritons held onto the shutout for the remaining three innings, while adding another three runs to their lead. UCSD’s offense remained balanced throughout the game, with all five runs batted in by different players. Senior left-handed pitcher Lexi Edwards was credited with the win, allowing eight hits and zero runs against 26 at bats. Even with the eight hits allowed, the defense held its ground, leading to a terrific 6–0 shutout.

Game Two In a game that was called short due to time, UCSD clearly had the Gators’ number. Distancing themselves from their previous approach of scoring in bunches, the Tritons produced a steady stream of offense, scoring in each of the first four innings. Lewis kept her contributions coming, as she led the offense with two RBIs off of sacrifice flies.

Heading into the final inning up comfortable 5–0, the Tritons loosened their grip on the Gators a bit, erasing their dreams of a second straight shutout.

San Francisco State cut the deficit by two, but the Tritons ultimately closed out the game with the win.

Senior right-handed pitcher Hannah Duarte was credited with the win, allowing just four hits and two runs against 19 at bats. Sophomore outfielder Kelsi Maday finished with an impressive one hit, one run and one RBI statline while senior outfielder Taylor Abeyta matched Maday’s impressive output and adding two walks to the mix.

“We knew this was an important series and we had to play well,” UCSD Head Coach Patti Gerckens told the athletics department. “We really competed well today and had some strong pitching from Lexi and Hannah.”

After the sweep, the Gators fell to 23–20 overall and 17–13 in the CCAA.

Game Three After a day of rest, the softball team was back at it again in its first afternoon stint with Cal State San Marcos. Unfortunately, the offense cooled down after its off day, as the Tritons failed to capitalize on any of their opportunities.

Starting with the second inning, the Tritons had no trouble getting players on base as indicated by their five total hits and one walk for the game. But the Tritons also wound up leaving seven players on base, which, when combined with the team’s single run for the entire game, tells a startling tale of missed opportunity.

Due to the close, grind-it-out nature of the game, however, a single run was all that it took to bring the Tritons within striking distance. Thanks to a single by Abeyta, sophomore second-baseman Kendall Baker was able to make a dash to home plate for a nail-biting one-run game. Unfortunately, UCSD was not able to rekindle the magic that sparked its offense in its previous two games and fell to the Cougars 2–1.

Game Four Eager for redemption, the Tritons fought hammer and tongs in their immediate rematch with the Cougars. As if they had just woken from a trance, the Triton offense quickly got into gear, scoring a run in the first inning thanks to a single by sophomore catcher Lauren Sanders, allowing Lewis to run to home. From then on, the game turned into a back-and-forth duel, with each team scoring two runs in the following innings.

After a single from Abeyta enabled both Maday and Baker to put runs on the board, the Tritons held the lead for the rest of the game and eventually ended with a 4–3 UCSD victory.

Abeyta continued her stellar play with two RBIs, two hits and a walk-off of three at bats, while Baker led the team in hits and runs with three and two, respectively. Junior left-handed pitcher Milana Casillas, however, took credit for the win, as she allowed two hits and zero runs after replacing Duarte in the first inning.

Following the split, the Cougars are now 10–30 overall and 7–23 in CCAA games.

UCSD will host Cal State San Bernardino in backto-back double-headers on April 15 and 16.

T

he UCSD Tritons and Sonoma State Seawolves split a doubleheader on Sunday, March 10 after heavy rain on Saturday limited the series to only two games instead of three. Game one was in the Tritons’ favor as they won 3–2 on seven hits. The Seawolves took game two by a final score of 1–0 as they scored the winning run in the seventh inning on a sacrifice fly.

After splitting this pair of games with the Seawolves, the Tritons now hold a 23–13 overall record with a 13–11 record in California Collegiate Athletic Association play.

The Seawolves are now 13–16 overall with an 11–7 record in league play. UCSD is ranked second in the Southern Division of the CCAA while Sonoma State moved up to the top-ranked spot in the Northern, right behind Chico State which lost this past weekend.

Game One Head Coach Eric Newman gave freshman righthanded pitcher Kyle Mora the ball in game one where he threw 4.2 innings, holding the Seawolves to one run on six hits. Freshman right-handed pitcher Tim Nelson entered the game in the eighth inning as a closer for the Tritons and managed to hold on to the 3–2 lead as he earned his fifth win of the season.

The Tritons struck first in the top of the first inning as redshirt junior leadoff hitter Brandon Shirley took advantage of a free base as he was hit by a pitch. Shirley then stole second base, putting him in scoring position.

With one out, junior outfielder Jack Larson hit a base hit through the right side to score speedy Shirley from second base.

Sonoma State struggled hitting off of Mora, as it only had two hits through the first three innings of the game.

The Tritons pushed another run across the board in the top of the third inning after senior outfielder Gradeigh Sanchez had a leadoff walk. Larsen then followed with his second hit of the game to right field, putting runners on the corners for sophomore infielder Tyler Plantier. Plantier executed and scored the Tritons’ second run of the game with a deep sacrifice fly which allowed Sanchez to score from third base.

The Seawolves managed to score their first run of the game during the fourth inning after Mora gave up a leadoff base hit to the Seawolves’ senior third baseman Ryan O’Malley. Once Mora got the next batter to fly out, O’Malley stole second base, putting him in scoring position. Sonoma State’s senior cleanup hitter Adam Manzer hit a base hit up the middle, easily scoring O’Malley from second base, making the game 2–1.

Sonoma State tied the game up in the bottom of the eighth inning as Nelson gave up back-to-back hits. The Tritons demonstrated “textbook baseball” in the top of the ninth, as redshirt sophomore catcher Steven Coe hit a single to start the inning off, followed by a sacrifice bunt by junior infielder Tyler Howsley. After a Shirley strikeout, Sanchez hit a two-out base hit to center field, scoring the winning run for the Tritons. Nelson shut the Seawolves down in the bottom of the ninth inning to secure the win.

Sanchez then went 2–3 with two walks, one run batted in, one run scored and one steal while Larsen was 2–5 with an RBI and a stolen base.
