Storm Squeeze By Kalamazoo, 4-3
The Kalamazoo Comets could not turn a fine performance from pitcher Justin Bunt into a win. Instead, the Lake Elsinore Storm prevailed, 4-3. Bunt threw 5.0 innings of 3-hit ball. Picking up the save was Brian Sanborn, his 1st. The 5th-place Storm are 5-28.

The game was at a stalemate until right fielder Danny Thompson came to bat in the bottom of the eighth. Facing Kalamazoo pitcher Justin Tarin, he hit a 1-0 fastball for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting Lake Elsinore on top, 4-3.

"We made a couple of mistakes," said Kalamazoo skipper Morgan Van Dyke, "and it cost us."
