Eskimo Brothers Get Clutch Win, 6-5
The Encinitas Eskimo Brothers spoiled a good performance by Corpus Christi right fielder Jason Finch, bumping off Corpus Christi, 6-5, at Mermen Field. Finch was 2-3 with a home run. He scored 2 runs. Jack Judy, now 3-1, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 1 and walking 0. The Eskimo Brothers have an impressive 77-32 record.

Who knows how it would've ended, had it not been for Juan Gonzalez? The former first overall pick Gonzalez stroked a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put Encinitas up, 6-5. For the game, he was 2 for 2, including 1 double and 1 single.

"I'm proud of the way we took care of business and got the 'W' today," Gonzalez told the Encinitas Bulletin. "Whatever it takes."
