Hillbillies Losing Streak at 6 After Extra-Inning Loss to Comets
The rain did not keep Kalamazoo and Poplar Bluff from finishing their game.

Behind the hitting of Matt Miranda, the Kalamazoo Comets defeated the Poplar Bluff Hillbillies, 16-5. Miranda went 4-6 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 4 for the Comets. Jim Unknown picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 1-0. Jim Unknown was tagged with the loss.

Kalamazoo used the clutch hitting of Travis Letner to capture the win. The right fielder drilled a run-scoring double in the top of the tenth inning to give the Comets the lead, 6-5. For the game, Letner had 1 single and 1 double in 5 at-bats.

"Always feels extra good winning this kind of game," said Miranda.

The Hillbillies, at 25-37, have lost 6 straight games.
