The Glace Bay Miners spoiled a good performance by Huntsville third baseman Nick Keller, bumping off Huntsville, 6-5, at Miners Memorial Bowl. Keller went 2-3 with 2 home runs and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Jason Leddick, who is tied for 10th in the N-A in holds with 8, earned the win in relief. The left-hander allowed 2 runs on 2 hits in 3 innings. He upped his record to 5-2. Cory Newton earned his 19th save in 21 tries.

Glace Bay took a 4-3 lead on Keith DiPiazza's 28th home run of the season. The 2-run home run, which DiPiazza hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Huntsville pitcher Joe Brackett visibly frustrated.

"They had a good approach," Huntsville skipper Alec Roller said of the opposition. "Hats off to them."

Glace Bay has an impressive 94-41 record.
