Spirited fans greeted the Kalamazoo Comets for their clash with the Lake Elsinore Storm.

The Lake Elsinore Storm defeated the Kalamazoo Comets, 7-5, at Wizards Stadium. Lake Elsinore second baseman Sergio Soto had a superb performance. He belted 2 home runs. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4. Lake Elsinore reliever Alex Guzman picked up the win, raising his record to 3-8. Jim Unknown was tagged with the loss.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Danny Thompson? The Lake Elsinore right fielder had a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Storm on top, 3-1. For the game, Thompson had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"When the ball finds the sweet spot," said Soto, "I can't complain."

Lake Elsinore, with the win, climbs to 12-49.
