Eskimo Brothers Pop Mermen, 9-3
The Encinitas Eskimo Brothers bumped off the Corpus Christi Mermen, 9-3, at Mermen Field. Alex Melo hit 2 singles and 2 doubles. He also had 1 RBI. The victory gives Encinitas a record of 24-19.

Encinitas used a clutch at-bat from Dean Hostetler to capture the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Eskimo Brothers ahead, 4-0. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"I don't lose sleep over a loss," said Hostetler. "But I have better dreams after a win."
