Lumberjacks Rally Late to Nip Keys
Steve Benitez left his imprint on the 7-6 Bangor win against the Long Beach Keys. Benitez went 4-5 with a home run and 3 singles. He drove in 5 runs and scored once. Jonathan Kellerstrass, now 2-2, was credited with the win in 1 innings of relief. He allowed no runs on no hits, while striking out 1 and walking 0. Bangor's record now stands at 50-70, placing them 4th in the Southern A East Division.

The game was still up for grabs in the bottom of the ninth. With one out, Benitez hit a fastball from Chris Allen for a run-scoring single. The Lumberjacks, in dramatic fashion, had a walk-off win.

"What a buzz," said Benitez after it was over.
