Keys Overcome Great Performance by Mullinax in Win
The Long Beach Keys besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Poplar Bluff third baseman Jeff Mullinax by beating the Hillbillies, 11-9, at Long Beach Grounds. Mullinax went 4 for 5 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. Jim Unknown, credited with the win in relief, is now 1-0. He allowed no runs on 2 hits in 3.1 innings. The Keys sit in 4th place in the Southern A West Division with a record of 33-48.

With two out in the bottom of the seventh, Chris McNicholas had a game-changing hit. The Keys center fielder slammed a run-scoring single off Jim Unknown, making the score 11-9, Long Beach.

"I've been criticized for being a slacker, but the one thing I do care about is winning," McNicholas told the Long Beach Daily News.
