Kaatz Helps Keys Beat Storm, 7-6
The Long Beach Keys and Lake Elsinore Storm obliged fans looking for a good time.

The Long Beach Keys stopped the Lake Elsinore Storm, 7-6, behind an impressive performance from Ben Kaatz. The 21-year old third baseman made life miserable for Lake Elsinore pitching. He was 3-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Jim Unknown closed out the game, earning his 1st save.

Kaatz broke a deadlock in the bottom of the eighth inning, when he drew a walk, driving in 1 run, putting Long Beach up, 7-6.

"It feels good to get this one," Kaatz told the Long Beach Bulletin.

The Keys with just their 5th win in 17 games, have played uninspired baseball so far.
