Losing Streak Continues for Bears with 8-4 Loss to Eskimo Brothers
The Encinitas Eskimo Brothers beat the Traverse City Bears by a score of 8-4. Encinitas right fielder Steve Valkenburg deserved the lion's share of the credit. Valkenburg belted 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice for the Eskimo Brothers. Justin Watson earned the win to go to 1-0. He allowed 3 runs on 7 hits, with 1 walk and 7 strikeouts in 6.1 innings of work. The Bears, now 18-61, have lost 11 in a row.

Jason Hoover, who is tied for 3rd in the E-AA with a .477 on-base percentage, contributed to the Encinitas win with a grand slam home run in the bottom of the fifth. For the game, the second baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 4 runs batted in.

"We're in a funk and we need to shake ourselves out of it," said Traverse City manager Zach Hildebrant.
