Grasso Propels Comets to 9-6 Win
Justin Grasso, who is tied for 2nd in the S-A with a 1.167 OPS, led Kalamazoo to a triumph over Long Beach. The final score was 9-6. The left fielder went 4 for 5, falling a triple shy of the cycle. He scored 2 runs and added 2 RBI. Picking up his 1st save was 27-year old left-handed pitcher Jim Unknown. Kalamazoo has now won 3 straight, while the Keys have lost 4 in a row.

The game turned with two out in the bottom of the seventh when Grasso hit a run-scoring single. It thrust the Comets into the lead, 7-6.

"Winning is hard sometimes," said Comets manager Morgan Van Dyke. "This one was nice to get."
