White Deer Topples Kalamazoo, 5-4
John Pavao left his imprint on the 5-4 White Deer win against the Kalamazoo Comets. Pavao was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Tyler Layne, the winner, is now 1-0. He struck out 7 and walked 3 over 6.2 innings, while allowing 4 runs on 9 hits. Dustin Mitchell closed out the game, earning his 1st save.

White Deer used the timely hitting of George Rosenfeld to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a 2-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Tropics ahead, 5-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

Afterward, Kalamazoo manager Morgan Van Dyke said: "We've hit a rough patch."

The loss drops Kalamazoo to 4-8.
