Hillbillies Nipped, 7-5, by Long Beach
Good production from center fielder Chris McNicholas helped the Long Beach Keys topple the Poplar Bluff Hillbillies, 7-5. McNicholas was 1 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for the Keys. The win belonged to Jim Unknown in relief. His record improves to 1-0. Jim Unknown took the loss for Poplar Bluff. The last-place Hillbillies have lost 5 consecutive games.

Bill Baracco drew 1 walk in his only trip to the plate against the Hillbillies. With the game tied in the bottom of the eighth inning, he drew a walk, driving in 1 run that put Long Beach in front, 6-5.

"I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more,'" McNicholas told the Long Beach Daily News. "You win just by scoring more runs."
