Encinitas Advances to League Championship Series
Fans at Rotters Ballpark saw the Division Series come to a close today, as the Encinitas Eskimo Brothers defeated the Riverside Rotters by a score of 10-4, and advanced to the League Championship Series.

Encinitas won the series 4-1 and will now continue their march toward the World Series.

"It feels good to be moving on, I can't deny it," said left fielder Steve Valkenburg, who was named series MVP. "Not everyone thought we'd make it this far."

The Encinitas Eskimo Brothers don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Boise Dread Kings - Winchester Mountaineers series. Winchester leads the series 3 games to 1. The League Championship Series schedule will be announced after the Division Series finishes.
