5-Hit Game for Grasso
5 hits in a game is a rare thing, but Kalamazoo's Justin Grasso made it happen against the Storm. Everything came together at the plate for the 23-year-old left fielder as he collected 5 hits in 6 at-bats -- and helped the Comets triumph, 15-8, at Dust Devils Ballpark.

"I'm just out there to try and help the team win," Grasso said after the game, "I had some real good at-bats. I made good, solid contact and luckily no one caught 'em."

Justin Grasso walked in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, flied out in the 7th, singled in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

This season, Grasso is hitting .368 with 14 hits, 1 home run, 9 RBIs, scored 6 runs and played in 9 games.
