The 2023 season is getting uglier for Long Beach.

Angel Vargas was instrumental in his team's 8-4 triumph over the Long Beach Keys. The catcher was 1 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 3 runs for the Kalamazoo Comets. The winning pitcher was Jim Unknown. He tossed 101 pitches over 6.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 7 hits.

Dan Vicars took Long Beach hurler Carlos Montenegro deep in the bottom of the sixth. His solo home run put the Comets on top, 4-3. In all, Vicars had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

"I just tried to make good contact," said Vicars.

The Keys, at 27-46, have lost 6 in a row.
