Himes Powers Tropics to 5-4 Win
The White Deer Tropics beat the Long Beach Keys by a score of 5-4. White Deer right fielder Kyle Himes deserved the lion's share of the credit. Himes went 4 for 5 with 2 home runs and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 2 for the Tropics. The Tropics saw their win-loss record go to 35-33. At the same time, the Keys fell to 21-47.

With White Deer leading 4-2 in the bottom of the fourth, Himes batted against Long Beach pitcher Carlos Montenegro. Himes hit a fastball to left-center for a solo home run. His 10th home run of the season put the Tropics on top, 5-2.

In comments to the White Deer News, Himes admitted he's been told to improve his work habits. "But," he said, "I know when to take it to another gear."
