Mermen Turn Back Eskimo Brothers, 9-8
The Corpus Christi Mermen overcame a good performance by Encinitas designated hitter George Foote to knock off Encinitas, 9-8, at EBDBBNB Park. Foote went 2 for 4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. Losses have been few and far between for the Eskimo Brothers, who are now 16-7.

T.J. Donovan had a big 3-run home run for the Mermen in the top of the third inning. With Corpus Christi leading 3-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a changeup from Justin Watson and swatted a home run to left. It was his 2nd home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Mermen ahead, 6-1.

"Both teams had plenty of clutch hits," said Donovan. "It made for an exciting game."
