Red-Hot Keith Scorches Keys
5 times is the charm -- at least for David Keith.

The Mexico City Aztecs third baseman tore up the Long Beach Keys to the tune of 5 hits in 6 at-bats at Long Beach Grounds. The offensive onslaught from Keith powered the 13-10 Aztecs win.

"Keith was a tough out," Long Beach manager Ron Kunkleman said to the press in the postgame interview. "He hit some very good pitches with that quick bat of his. Not an easy out, that's for sure."

David Keith singled in the 1st, singled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Arhippa Hynninen in the 5th, singled in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th.

This year, Keith is hitting .326 with 10 home runs and 59 RBIs in 103 games played. He also boasts an OBP of .445 with 82 walks and 87 runs scored.
