The Kalamazoo Comets stormed past the Long Beach Keys, 16-8, at Long Beach Grounds. Kalamazoo third basemanNoel Weatherhead , who is tied for 2nd in the S-A with a 1.107 OPS, led the hit parade. He went 4-4 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3. Kalamazoo has now won 3 in a row.

Kalamazoo relied on the bat of Sam Berger to get the win. The designated hitter ripped a 2-run triple in the top of the sixth inning to put the Comets ahead, 8-5. For the game, Berger had 1 double and 1 triple in 6 at-bats.

"It's the best feeling when you come through for your teammates," said Weatherhead.
