Mermen Jolt Cajuns with Late Rally
Newcastle rode a decent outing from starter Kini Grinter to victory over the Crowley Cajuns at Titans Ballpark. The final score was 9-3. Newcastle now owns a record of 11-27.

A key at-bat in the game came in the top of the eighth inning when the Mermen sent teenager Katsuyuki Nakamura to the plate against Cajuns hurler Manny Pinto. With the bases loaded and a whole stadium watching, the kid controlled his nerves and delivered huge, hitting a double off a 1-2 fastball to score 3.

"I'm proud of the boys for pulling through," said Mermen manager Harris Bailey. "The wins don't come easy for this team, but everyone's got an extra jump in their step after a game like this."
