At Dust Devils Ballpark, the Long Beach Keys and Lake Elsinore Storm were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

The Lake Elsinore Storm handed the Long Beach Keys a sound defeat, 15-3, at Dust Devils Ballpark. Jesus Lugo was a main contributor to the win. He was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3 for Lake Elsinore. The win was credited to 17-year old right-handed pitcher Luis Castillo in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Katsumasa Nakatsu took the loss.

Nick Kujawa took Long Beach hurler Katsumasa Nakatsu deep in the bottom of the second. His 3-run home run put the Storm on top, 3-0. In all, Kujawa had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 6.

"We lit up the scoreboard," said Lake Elsinore manager Bobby Vargas.

Their 9-42 record puts the Storm 5th in the Southern A West Division.
