The Long Beach Keys outscored the Atlanta Aggies, 13-10. Chris McNicholas led the way, going 2-for-4 for Long Beach. Jim Unknown, now 1-0, was credited with the win in 2 innings of relief. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits, while striking out 0 and walking 3. Long Beach has now won 4 games in a row.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, McNicholas hit a cutter from Jim Unknown for a 3-run home run. The Keys, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"I like the roll we're on," said Long Beach manager Ron Kunkleman.
