Keys Rebuff Bowsers, 8-6
Getting offensive support from Danny Gates, the Long Beach Keys topped the Columbus Bowsers, 8-6. Gates went 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for the Keys. Katsumasa Nakatsu, now 1-2, was credited with the win in 2.1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit, while striking out 1 and walking 1. Jim Unknown locked down his 1st save.

Gates contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Long Beach in the bottom of the fifth. With his team trailing 6-5, Gates took a screwball from Mike Young and stroked the home run to left-center. His 8th home run of the season allowed the Keys to leap in front, 7-6.

"Enjoyed this one," Gates told the Long Beach Bulletin. "But it's back to work tomorrow."

The win gives the Keys a record of 39-74.
