Mermen Win Extended Game 1 Duel with Eskimo Brothers Behind 2 HRs From 3B Donovan
When the games really matter, the Corpus Christi Mermen put on their best show, beating the Encinitas Eskimo Brothers by a final score of 9-8. T.J. Donovan went 5-6 with 2 home runs, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2. Corpus Christi now leads Encinitas 1-0 in the best-of-7 affair.

Corpus Christi needed the clutch hitting of Ian Cason to notch the win. The left fielder hammered a solo home run in the top of the 11th inning to put the Mermen on top, 9-8. For the game, Cason had 1 home run and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

In postgame comments, Donovan said, "I think we gave the fans their money's worth."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at EBDBBNB Park in Mobile.
