  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
Atlanta Aggies (22-67) 1 1 0 0 2 0 2 1 0 7 9 1
Kalamazoo Comets (35-54) 4 1 0 0 0 0 3 1 X 9 11 0
Aggies Handed 9-7 Loss by Comets
The Kalamazoo Comets had to overcome a big game from Atlanta first baseman John Beck to leave Wizards Stadium with a victory. And they did, winning, 9-7. Beck went 2-4 with a home run, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The Comets improved to 35-54.

Had Freddy Vasquez not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Vasquez hit a 2-run single. That made the score 8-6, in favor of the Comets.

"We maximized our offense today," said Kalamazoo skipper Morgan Van Dyke. "That makes everyone's life easier."
