The Kalamazoo Comets welcomed the Long Beach Keys to an night game at Wizards Stadium.

Noel Weatherhead led Kalamazoo to a triumph over Long Beach. The final score was 14-8. The first baseman went 4 for 5, falling a triple shy of the cycle. He scored 2 runs and added 3 RBI. Kalamazoo goes to 2-3.

Early in the game, third baseman Joe Deutsch had a 3-run home run for Kalamazoo. It was his 1st home run of the season and put the Comets on top, 6-3.

"If you were looking for a pitchers' duel," said Weatherhead, "this wasn't it."
