Hostetler, Eskimo Brothers Wallop Mermen in Game 2 of DS
Encinitas Eskimo Brothers manager Logan Greening wasn't expecting much from the rookie playing in his first postseason. Maybe he should have been.

In front of a supportive hometown crowd, 23-year-old third baseman Dean Hostetler humbled the visiting Corpus Christi Mermen at EBDBBNB Park. Hostetler went 2 for 3 with 2 home runs and a walk. He scored 3 runs and drove in 5 as the Eskimo Brothers shut out the Mermen by a final score of 6-1, to force a 1-1 tie in the best-of-7 Division Series.

Hostetler had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fourth to put Encinitas in front, 3-0. With a runner on 1st, he hit a 2-run home run off Corpus Christi pitcher Chad Bendon.

"Solid game, solid win tonight," said a smiling Hostetler.

Game 3 is scheduled for Wednesday at Mermen Field in Corpus Christi.
