Mastbaum defeats Saul in baseball

If you're visiting Mastbaum, don't yell for Santos Ocasio. You might get responses from two different directions.

The two are half-brothers and teamed up to help the Panthers beat visiting Saul, 18-5, in a Public League baseball game yesterday.

The elder Ocasio, a senior, went 3 for 3 with a double, scored three times and drove in three runs. The other Ocasio is a sophomore and pounded a triple, two singles, drove in five runs, and scored twice in four trips to the plate.
