Hawai'i Hilo Vulcans Athletics

Senior first baseman RJ Romo earns the UH Hilo Pepsi Athlete of the Week award after a thrilling series victory over Point Loma in San Diego. Romo was one of a number of Vulcan heroes that helped UHH take three of four games from the Sea Lions to move into sole possession of second place in the Pacific West Conference. In Saturday's third game of the series, the Glendora, Calif. native went 3-for-5, which included a game-clinching double down the left field line to bring home a run in the ninth in the 6-4 win. In the second game of the doubleheader, Romo drove in both of UH Hilo's runs with another double in the 2-1 victory. For the series, he had four RBI and six hits.
