Tri-City Beaten, 7-2, by Aberdeen
Aberdeen Ironbirds starter Ken Key found his groove in his team's 7-2 win over the Tri-City ValleyCats. José Luna, 3-3, earned the win in relief. He allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. Aberdeen has won 3 straight, while Tri-City has lost 3 in a row.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Shawn Baker? The Aberdeen shortstop had a run-scoring double in the top of the ninth inning to put the Ironbirds on top, 3-2. For the game, Baker had 1 double and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.

"Winning is all that really matters and we got it done today," Key told the Aberdeen Chronicle.
