Big Day for Hoffman as Comets Down Hillbillies, 12-4
Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Kalamazoo Comets and Poplar Bluff Hillbillies.

The Kalamazoo Comets topped the Poplar Bluff Hillbillies, 12-4, with first baseman Marcus Hoffman playing a big role. Hoffman went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Comets in the win. Kalamazoo has a record of 30-39, placing them 5th in the Southern A East Division.

Kalamazoo won the game in part because of Bruce Frett. The second baseman ripped a grand slam home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Comets ahead, 4-3. For the game, Frett had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"It's nice to see a lot of guys make contributions," said Comets manager Malcolm Griffin.
