Partons Tally 9-3 Win
The Dollywood Partons besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Kalamazoo first baseman Noel Weatherhead by beating the Comets, 9-3, at Wizards Stadium. Weatherhead went 3-4 with 2 home runs and a double. Ryan Roeser, who leads the S-A in strikeouts with 65, was the winning pitcher. Over 6 innings, he allowed 3 runs on 3 hits, with no walks and 7 strikeouts. Dollywood is now 34-8, 9 games up in the Southern A East Division.

Dollywood won the game in part because of Max Benitez. The second baseman ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Partons ahead, 3-0. For the game, Benitez had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Dollywood skipper Adam Freeman.
