Kavin Keyes a hero in Alaska League game

From the Anchorage Daily News:

"-- Kavin Keyes was in the hero business Thursday night at Mulcahy, and business was exceptional.

Keyes delivered a three-run double in the eighth inning and a game-winning two-run, walk-off single in the bottom of the ninth to spearhead the Anchorage Glacier Pilots' remarkable 8-7 Alaska Baseball League win over the Mat-Su Miners.

The Pilots trailed 5-0 after six and a half innings, 6-2 after seven and a half innings and 7-5 entering the bottom of the ninth inning. Anchorage scored all of its run in the last three innings.

Maxx Garrett got the Pilots going with a two-run homer in the seventh to cut Mat-Su's lead to 5-2. Brady Hohl went 4 for 5 for Anchorage and scored two runs, and Cael Brockmeyer went 3 for 5 with a run scored.

Adam Martin and Kevin Lum each drove in two runs for Mat-Su and Michael Gerlach and Tim Zier each furnished three hits.

Keyes' heroics made a winner out of reliever Trevor Bayless (1-1).

The article does not point out that Kavin also had 3 errors in the game!

What a night for Kavin! 5 RBIs and 3 errors!

Whoever this AKJeff is, thanks for posting it up

I wish I was in Anchorage to watch the pilots this summer (like I usually do), especially now that they have Kavin; but I have to friggin work all the time in BFE.
I keep telling my gf to get an autograph from Kavin, while I’m gone; hope the season is still going when I’m back in town on the 31st!
