Thrilling Walk-Off Win for Comets
Though he had a stellar game, Jim Viglione could not prevent his team, the Louisville Sweepers, from losing, 6-5, to the Kalamazoo Comets. Viglione hit 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice. Jim Unknown picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 1-0. Mike Hietala, who leads the S-A in saves with 18, was tagged with the loss. The Comets, at 34-46, sit in 5th place in the Southern A East Division.

With the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, Max Benitez delivered the knockout blow when he drew a walk, driving in 1 run to win it for Kalamazoo. In the contest, Benitez went 1 for 4 with a home run and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once.

"We were the better team today. Maybe that won't be the case next game, but we'll enjoy it for now," Benitez told the Kalamazoo News.
