8-6 Kalamazoo Win Thrills Crowd
The Kalamazoo Comets cut down the Weedpatch Widowmakers by the score of 8-6, with the largest share of the credit going to third baseman Kevin Hilfiker. Hilfiker went 3 for 4 with a home run, a double, and 3 walks. He scored 4 runs for the Comets. Kalamazoo reliever Jim Unknown was the winner. His record is now 1-0. The losing pitcher was Cooper Culaham. The Comets are now 29-39.

The climactic moment came in the bottom of the 14th for Kalamazoo. That's when 23-year old second baseman Bruce Frett hit a 2-run home run off Tony Baca to win the game. The home crowd erupted in celebration.

In postgame remarks, Hilfiker said: "I'm proud of our guys, of their fight."
