Kalamazoo Gets 8-1 Win Against Hillbillies
Kalamazoo defeated Poplar Bluff, 8-1, in large part due to 24-year old left fielder Marcus Hoffman. Hoffman drove in 4 runs. The first baseman had 1 double and 1 home run for the Comets. The winning pitcher was Alex Gonzales. He tossed 80 pitches over 5.2 innings, allowing no runs on 5 hits. Kalamazoo has now won 3 in a row.

The Comets got an important contribution from right fielder Scott Dawson, who in the top of the second hit a sinker to left for a 2-run triple. It was his 2nd triple of the season and put the Comets ahead, 3-0.

"Whenever we hold the other team to one run," said Comets manager Malcolm Griffin, "I like our chances."
