Things keep getting worse for Kalamazoo.

The White Deer Tropics scored a convincing win at Wizards Stadium, defeating the Kalamazoo Comets, 12-2. One of the hitting stars was 21-year old first baseman Adam Persons who was 2-4 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 4. Nate Roberson earned the win for White Deer. He lasted 7.2 innings, allowing 2 runs on 5 hits, while striking out 7. With the win, he raised his record to 4-3.

With White Deer leading 8-0 in the top of the eighth, Persons came up to bat against Kalamazoo pitcher Jim Unknown. Persons hit a fastball to left for a grand slam home run. His 12th home run of the season put the Tropics on top, 12-0.

"We just can't get over the hump," said losing manager Morgan Van Dyke.

The misery continues for the Comets, who have now dropped 12 in a row.
