The umbrellas came out during the Corpus Christi-Libertyville contest at Mermen Field.

A good performance from third baseman T.J. Donovan helped the Corpus Christi Mermen defeat the Libertyville Polecats, 9-8. Donovan slugged 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice for the Mermen. The Mermen improved to 23-27.

Donovan delivered in the clutch for Corpus Christi. In the bottom of the ninth, he took a 1-1 fastball from Libertyville pitcher Jim Unknown and parked it over the fence. The solo home run won it for Corpus Christi.

"Sometimes you get the ball in the right spot and it goes," said Donovan.
