The Corpus Christi Mermen used the hitting of third baseman T.J. Donovan to subdue the Libertyville Polecats, 5-4. For the game, Donovan was 3-6 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. Corpus Christi reliever Charlie Hunter picked up the win, upping his record to 2-0. Jim Unknown was saddled with the loss. Corpus Christi is off to a hot start at 5-0.

The Mermen got a clutch hit from catcher Brent Haynes. In the bottom of the 13th, he hit a run-scoring single to right-center, to win the game for the Mermen.

"Took some scratching and clawing," said Haynes. "But we got it done."
