Long Beach Keys second baseman Justin Morgan left the Lake Elsinore pitching staff in ruins at Dust Devils Ballpark, beating the Storm, 13-1, with a prodigious three-home run performance.

For the game, the Long Beach second baseman had 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 8 and scored 3 runs.
Justin Morgan hit a solo-shot off Larry Bute in the 1st, hit a sac fly in the 2nd, flied out in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th, hit a three-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 8th and hit a three-run home run off Jim Unknown in the 9th.
