Tofel Powers Partons Offense
The Dollywood Partons beat the Kalamazoo Comets, 8-4, at Wizards Stadium. Tom Tofel, who is tied for 3rd in the S-A in stolen bases with 17, starred for Dollywood. He was 4-6 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles. He scored 3 runs and drove in 3. Josh Banks snagged the win in relief. He goes to 1-0 on the season. Jim Unknown suffered the loss. The losing skid has reached 8 games for Kalamazoo.

Dollywood used the timely hitting of George Kinder to seize the win. The first baseman stroked a 2-run single in the top of the eighth inning to put the Partons on top, 7-4. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"This game will humble you at times and you've got to buck up and deal with it," said Kalamazoo manager Morgan Van Dyke.
